PatentsALERT the power usage. An energy management controller also preferably is connected to the communications interface for controlling power usage responsive to predetermined electrical command signals received from the power customer through the communications interface.
5628190 GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT AND CONDENSER THEREFOR Bronicki Lucien Y Yavne, ISRAEL assigned to Ormat Industries Ltd A geothermal power plant operating on geothermal fluid includes a source of low pressure geothermal steam, and a turbo-generator including a low pressure steam turbine to which the geothermal steam is applied, and a generator coupled to the steam turbine. The low pressure geothermal steam is applied to the turbine, wherein expansion takes place driving the generator, and producing expanded steam that is exhausted from the turbine. A condenser for condensing the expanded steam includes a steam heat exchanger for receiving the expanded steam, a coolant, an air cooled heat exchanger, and a pump to exchange coolant during the steam heat exchanger and the air cooled heat exchanger, in a closed secondary coolant cycle. Preferably, the coolant is water.
5628879 SUN ACTUATED AUTOMATED DISTILLATION APPARATUS Woodruff Seth D STATES
San Diego, CA, UNITED
A portable solar still, controlled by a sun actuated mechanical valve, including a thermally insulated evaporation chamber structure within which distillation takes place, is assembled from sidewall panels and floor panels of foam plastic thermal insulation, these panels being strengthened and made into rigid structural units by metal tubes or rods incorporated internally into the foam plastic panels, a transparent cover sealing the sloping top of the evaporation chamber including a transparent, flexible, plastic film which is stretched across, and has its four boundary edges attached to, the four members of a closed rectangular frame of slender metal tubes, wick matting, disposed on the floor of the evaporation chamber including a layered mat of fine, randomly oriented,, glass fibers, said wick matting being impregnated with a black, hydrophylic, mixture to provide maximum absorbency of saline water and of solar heat energy, an adjustable, mechanical, sun actuated saline water flow control valve regulates the rate of saline feedwater inflow into the evaporation chamber.
5629104 MODULAR ELECTRICAL ENERGY DEVICE Crawford Michael D; Wilson Curt L; Crawford Michael H; Gostek Matthew Rochester Hills, MI, UNITED STATES assigned to Detroit Center Tool A modular energy device for combining fuel cells for use in an automotive vehicle. The modular energy device includes an end plate, a bi-plate, and compression plate. The modular energy device further includes current collectors which collect energy from an electrochemical reaction. A Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) or fuel cell includes a composite material, an anode and a cathode. The modular energy device uses a hydrogen based fuel and oxidant in order to create an electrical potential.
