Abstract
A binary cycle power recovery apparatus which comprises, in combination, a steam separator for separating steam from hot water, a hot water tank where hot water is produced by directly introducing the steam from the steam separator into water; a heating and evaporating means installed in the hot water tank for heating and evaporating a liquid working medium by the hot water in the tank, a turbine derived by the evaporated working medium from the heating and evaporating means, a condenser for condensing the gaseous working medium from the turbine, and a pump for circulating the condensed working medium from the condenser to the heating and evaporation means. The internal power for working the apparatus is reduced and the heat exchange efficiency is improved. As a result, the apparatus may be constructed in a small size adapted for use, for example, by a private administrator of a small hot spring hotel to recover electric power or cold heat source from waste steam which has heretofore been discarded.
