Turbine relationships in pipes
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system of power generation in a piping system, comprising:
- a. a downstream section of pipe,b. a source of backpressure in said section from a fluid with a head,c. an upstream section of pipe including a manifold, the manifold in communication with the downstream section of pipe, and a hydroelectric turbine located within the upstream section of pipe, at an elevation greater than the head, corresponding to the pressure in the downstream section of pipe,d. a nozzle upstream from the hydroelectric turbine, and,e. a pressure valve upstream of the nozzle leading to the hydroelectric turbine for enabling a steady fluid stream of constant pressure through the hydroelectric turbine.

Abstract
The location of in-pipe turbines within a piping system and their relationships to other devices in the piping system is dependent on several factors for the ideal operation of these turbines, whether from the nozzle shooting liquid into air, or providing a stable pressure to the turbine and the generator. Several solutions to this issue are presented.
