i PERFORMANCE TEST OF A LYSHOLM ENGINE Abstract W test efficiency of utilization nergy, Le., direct llhead fluid in the co version machine. This contrasts with other processes that either transfer heat energy to a second fluid, o r use only the vapor fraction and discard the liquid. 1 Generally, the wellhead condition of geothermal fluids is a mixture of liquid and vapor, with quality (vapor fraction) up to 40%. Pressure and temperature may be as high as 400 psia (2.75 MPa) and450'F (505K),respectively. Disc solved minerals comprise up to 3070by weight, in some cases. ocess is the Lysholm en- own as the helical rotary screw expander. It is a positive- displacement machine that takes in a discrete volume of fluid and allows it to expand to do work. The Lysholm design is perhaps best known as a gas compressor, and is man- ufactured in a wide range of sizes by a number of companies throughout the world. Asanexpander, its features are very attractive for hostile environments. The rotors are basically rugged and their action, in the housing and with each other, tends to keep the parts free of scale. The Geothermal Energy Program at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory emphasizes energy conversion by means of the Total Flow process. One candidate energy conversion machine is the Lysholm engine or helical rotary screw expander. Recent performance tests conducted by LLL in its Geothermal Test Facility on a Lysholm engine yielded 49 data test points. Maximum engine efficiencies of 49% at 16kWfor 3000 rpm, 5370at23kWfor 4000 rpm, and 55% at 30 kW for 5000 rpm, were observed, using steam-water mixtures varying in vapor fraction from 11.6% to 34%. It is concluded that the Lysholm en- gine can operate effectively on a two- phase mixture approximating that from a geothermal resource, and that it is a viable candidate machine for the Total Flow energy conversion process. The Geothermal Energy Program at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory asizes energy conversion for hydrothermal resources by means of the The variety of geothermal resources, with regard to thermodynamic state and chemistry, requires the complete under- standing of many different machines and Introduction Total Flow process, which has the potential systems.

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
