Abstract
A turbocharger system includes a low pressure turbocharger (LPT) that includes an LPT compressor and an LPT turbine. The turbocharger system is configured to divide ambient air compressed by the LPT compressor into a heat exchanger flow and an HPT compressor inlet flow. The turbocharger system also includes a high pressure turbocharger (HPT) that includes an HPT compressor and an HPT turbine. The HPT compressor is configured to further compress the HPT compressor inlet flow, which is then channeled to a rotary machine as auxiliary compressed air. The turbocharger system further includes a heat exchanger configured to place the heat exchanger flow into thermal communication with exhaust gases associated with the rotary machine. The discharged heat exchanger flow is divided into parallel streams, and the LPT turbine and the HPT turbine are each configured to be driven by a respective one of the parallel streams.
