Title: Multi-spool CO2 aircraft power system for operating multiple generators

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1998328

A CO2 bottoming cycle system includes a first compressor operatively connected to a first turbine through a first shaft. A first generator is operatively connected to the first shaft. A second compressor is fluidically connected to the first compressor. The second compressor is operatively connected to a second turbine through a second shaft. A second generator is operatively connected to the second shaft. The first turbine is fluidically connected to the second turbine.
