Energy production installation consisting of an internal combustion engine and a turbine

Abstract

Abstract The installation comprises a compression unit and a power unit. The compression unit (8) comprises at least one diesel engine (160) supercharged by a turbo-fan consisting of an expansion turbine (152) supplied with the exhaust gases of the engine (160) and of a rotary compressor (153) exerting suction to the atmosphere through a filter (36); said compressor supercharges in the form of a primary flow the diesel cylinders via a refrigerant (154). The diesel engine drives two compressors (158, 159) supplied with atmospheric air through the filter and of which one provides a secondary flow (170) to the power unit (9). The power unit comprises a combustion chamber which is conveniently supplied through a heat exchanger with a portion (q4) at least of the secondary air flow issued from the compression unit, the combustion chamber itself feeding a turbine supplied by the chamber and producing on its shaft the totality of the output power.
