Fig. 1. L' I SIDE SECTION VIEW A 4 + 6 lobed Lysholm machine adapted for hot brine expansion. The male rotor drives the output shaft. W Historically, Lysholm's paper of 1966 described the basic expander application. 2 The rugged characteristics of the engine for use in severe environments were recognized by Wells et al.3 At LLL the Lysholm engine has been studied exten- 3 sively for high temperature applications and as a topping engine for Rankine cy- cles.4 The basic concept of the Lysholm en- gine for geothermal applications has been demonstrated by field tests of an air compressor unit, with 6-in. rotors, modified by the Hydrothermal Power Company, Ltd. (HPCL5 Figure 1 is a diagram of the concept. Tests have been conducted by HPC at the Cerro Prieto field in Mexico and at the East Mesa geo- thermal field in the Imperial Valley of California. In both locations the tests were limited by the available wellhead conditions. The latter tests are reported in Ref. 5. h order to gain a better understanding of the capabilities of the Lysholm engine over a wider range of inlet conditions, closely controlled tests with more pre- cise measurements were conducted by the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in 6 PLAN SECTION VIEW A schematic diagram of the test set-up is shown in Fig. 2. Inlet pressure to the rotors was varied from 24.4 psia (0.17 MPa) to 76.5 psia (0.51 MPa). Vapor fraction (quality)ranged from 11.6% to the state points of the fluid at various lo- cations. Figure 4 depicts the HPC ex- pander under test. As indicated in test schematic dia- gram, the performance of the engine was determined by means of speed and torque measurements in conjunction with a waterbrake dynamometer. Water flow In all tests the exhaust pressure was one atmosphere. Figure 3 is a 33.3%. temperature-entropy diagram showing Test Description -2- its Geothermal Test Facility.

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
