A combined heat and power (CHP) system and a method of operating is provided. The CHP system includes an oxygen-air separation device. A combustion chamber has an inlet coupled to the oxygen-air separation device. The combustion chamber receives an expanded heated CO2 working gas for combustion of solid fuel and generates a CO2 exhaust gas. The expanded heated CO2 working gas comprising at least a portion of the CO2 exhaust gas. A heat exchanger receives combustion gases and outputs a cooled CO2 working gas. A turbine is provided having a compression section and an expansion section, the compression section configured to receive and compress the cooled CO2 working gas and to direct it to the heat exchanger. The turbine receives a heated CO2 working gas at the expansion section and expands the heated CO2 working gas. In an embodiment, CO2 products may be generated from the system.

Combined heat and power system using and producing CO2 and method of operation

A combined heat and power system and method of operation is provided. The system includes a combustion chamber configured to directly combust solid organic material. A compressor turbine is fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber. An expansion turbine is fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber. In an embodiment, the system has a low turbine pressure ratio.

Combined heat and power system and method of operation

A combined heat and power (CHP) system. The CHP system including a combustion chamber with an air inlet and an exhaust. The combustion chamber configured to receive a hot secondary gas for combustion. A heat exchanger coupled to the particle separator receives mixed combustion gases and transfers heat to a secondary gas. The CHP system also includes a turbine configured to receive and compress a secondary gas and direct the compressed secondary gas to the heat exchanger, the turbine is also configured to receive a heated compressed secondary gas and expand it to generate work therefrom, the expanded heated secondary gas is also used for combustion and to regulate the temperature of the combustion gases entering the heat exchanger. A generator is connected to the drive shaft of the turbine and configured to generate electricity with the work generated therein.

A piston drive assembly, including: a housing enclosing each of: a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder having an axis substantially parallel to the axis of the other cylinders; a plurality of pistons, one piston in each cylinder; a wobble plate connected to each of the plurality of pistons; a swashplate rotatably fixed to a drive shaft such that the drive shaft can rotate the swash plate or the swash plate can rotate the drive shaft, wherein the drive shaft extends through the entire length of the housing.

Piston drive assembly

A variable displacement piston assembly including a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder having an axis substantially parallel to the axis of the other cylinders, a plurality of pistons, one piston in each cylinder, and each piston and corresponding cylinder having a displacement. The assembly also including a transition arm having a connector pin for each piston, each connector pin connecting each piston to said transition arm, a drive shaft connected to the transition arm and a control shaft rotatably coupled to the drive shaft, the control shaft being movable to adjust the displacement of the piston assembly.

Variable displacement compressor and expander

An external combustion engine comprises a mass of compressible working fluid; a fluidic piston in fluid communication with the working fluid; and a second piston in hydraulic communication with the fluidic piston and in fluid communication with the working fluid.
