Claims
- 1. In a compressor-expander having two rotating rotors with a fluid to be compressed being the first fluid, with a first rotor having an entry for said first fluid near the center of rotation with said first fluid then being accelerated and compressed in outward extending first rotor passages and said first fluid then being passed into a second rotor for deceleration and expansion, and to exit near the center of rotation of said second rotor, with heat being removed from said first fluid in a heat removal heat exchanger within said first rotor outward passages by circulating a second fluid in heat exchange relationship with said first fluid, the improvement comprising:
- a. a heat addition heat exchanger within said inward extending second rotor first fluid passages for adding heat to said first fluid during said expansion and deceleration, by circulating a third fluid in heat exchange relationship with said first fluid, with a third fluid being supplied and discharged via passages carried by said second rotor.
