Abstract
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a process and an apparatus to recover heat from a combustion engine turbine exhaust that involves exchanging heat between the combustion engine turbine exhaust and both a heat transfer medium and water. The exhaust is cooled in a series of heat exchange steps that ultimately produces a heated heat transfer medium fluid and superheated steam.
