Abstract

A mobile, self-propelled platform, which includes an enclosed trailer containing a portable air-water recovery system, is disclosed. This trailer includes a wind turbine mounted outside of the closed trailer environment, and adapted for recovery of energy from an exhaust air stream that is vented from within the enclosed trailer environment. The energy generated from such exhaust air stream is used to supplement traditional power sources associated with the operation of water generation process. The energy recovered from the exhaust air stream is projected to reduce the overall operating cost of the air-water recovery system by least 25%, based upon its current energy consumption needs. This system has application to other environments in which a force air stream is produce incident to operation of a primary process, as for example, where a high pressure, air dryer is used to remove moisture from a product, or to accelerate a curing operation.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention relates to an energy recovery system for use in conjunction with a portable water recovery facility. More specifically, the invention is directed to the use of a dry air exhaust from an air-water recovery facility to propel at least one air turbine powered electrical generator associated with such facility.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] The use of air turbine powered electrical generators for harnessing wind energy and conversion thereof to electrical power is well-known. Typically, such air turbines are mounted on a post at a fixed location, and further provided with a vane to position the blades of the turbine into the wind or air stream, U.S. Pat. No. 6,800,965 (to Bartlett, issued Oct. 5, 2005) being representative of this class of device.

[0005] Air turbine powered generators have also been adapted to mobile platforms, and the turbine blades propelled by an air stream created by t...
