Method Of Recovering Energy From Ocean Water

View page
US Patent:
50090690, Apr 23, 1991
Filed:
Aug 24, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/571988
Inventors:
Alberto E. Molini - San German PR
International Classification:
F03G 705
US Classification:
606411
Abstract:
A conduit extends from a platform on the surface of the ocean into cold deep ocean water containing dissolved gases. Sufficient water is drawn from the top of the conduit to cause the gas containing cold deep ocean water to enter the lower end of the conduit and release dissolved gas thereby forming a foam which causes the bulk density of the foam to fall. The change in bulk density causes the foam to move upward through the conduit pushing the foam to higher heights in an effort to reach pressure equilibrium inside and outside the conduit at a level of incipient foaming. The moving foam is used to drive a turbine or otherwise provide useful energy.

Method Of Recovering Energy From Liquids In Deep Cavities

US Patent:
52633225, Nov 23, 1993
Filed:
Apr 15, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/869540
Inventors:
Alberto E. Molini - San German PR
International Classification:
F03G 300
US Classification:
60398
Abstract:
A conduit extends from a platform or a fixed structure above a deep cavity filled with deep liquid which contains dissolved gases. Sufficient liquid is drawn from the top of the conduit to cause gas containing deep liquid to enter the lower end of the conduit and release dissolved gas thereby forming a foam which causes the bulk density of the foam to fall. The change in bulk density causes the foam to move upward through the conduit pushing the foam to higher heights in an effort to reach pressure equilibrium inside and outside the conduit at a level of incipient foaming. The energy of the moving foam is used to drive a turbine or otherwise provide useful energy.

Recovery Of Enthalpy From Hot Fluids

US Patent:
44480245, May 15, 1984
Filed:
Sep 18, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/303385
Inventors:
Alberto E. Molini - San German PR
Clarence Zener - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
F01K 2506
US Classification:
60649
Abstract:
Enthalpy is recovered from hot industrial effluents by converting a working fluid into a foam in a flashing unit and using the foam to propel a turbine located within or at the output of the flashing unit. For liquid effluents the effluent itself serves as the working fluid. For gaseous effluents a liquid is heated by the gas and then the liquid is used as the working fluid. If the effluents contain undesirable levels of pollutants working fluid is cleaned before it is flashed. The specification discloses both impulse and reactive turbines which the foam can propel.
