nitrogen (80% by wt.) and helium (20% by weight). The majority of fluid is 0.636 mole fraction of helium vs. 0.364 mole fraction of nitrogen. This indirect cycle design facilitates an improvement of the cycle efficiency using a Rankine bottoming cycle. The key difference of this concept is the reduction of the reactor inlet temperature and lower pressures compared with that of GT-MHR and others. With reduced inlet temperature, the flow rate and circulator power is lower and lower pressures results in less stress problems in material and reduce wall thickness of reactor and other units in the system. INL developed a combined cycle using CO2 as the working fluid in the Brayton cycle rather than N2/He proposed by Framatome. All the operating conditions are considered to be INL’s intellectual properties. Table 3-10 shows the main differences between Framatome’s N2/He cycle and CO2 cycle developed by INL. For these calculations, hydrogen generation process was included in both configurations. In terms of the overall cycle efficiency, the efficiency is nearly the same (48%) for both configurations. The main advantage of the CO2 cycle over the N2/He cycle is that CO2 cycle reduces the size of the intermediate heat exchanger, turbines, and compressors due to the reduced volumetric flow of CO2 compared to N2/helium.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
