Pump as Turbines (PaTs) can be used not only in hydraulic power generation but also in chemical processes, such as refinery, where fluids containing dissolved or undissolved gases or volatiles can be expanded from a higher to a lower pressure level for energy recovery.

Abstract

Pump as Turbines (PaTs) can be used not only in hydraulic power generation but also in chemical processes, such as refinery, where fluids containing dissolved or undissolved gases or volatiles can be expanded from a higher to a lower pressure level for energy recovery. As the gas contained in the fluid is released from the solution during expansion, the flow rate increases and additional energy is delivered with respect to the case of incompressible flow. This higher power output is very attractive. In this work, a theoretical approach is proposed in order to predict the PaT performance with a two-phase flow whose expansion characteristics are known.
