-24- BINARY VAPOR CYCLE METHOD OF POWER GENERATION ABSTRACT A binary vapor cycle method of electrical power genera- tion is disclosed wherein two refrigerant fluids can be used to operate an apparatus for the generation of mechanical power as well as electrical power generation. This method, which is essentially a dual heat pump system, offers an approach to utilizing the advantages of two different refrigerants within a single apparatus. This advantage is particularly advantageous in the utilization of low specific energy sources, such as two water sources which exist in close proximity to each other, but at different tempera- tures. Thus, water, which itself is a heat pump fluid, can be used as a means of transmitting heat energy to a second heat pump fluid, or refrigerant, without incurring the disadvantages of water or water vapors as its high specific volume and low saturation pressures at low temperatures. The utilization of barometric legs to bring the warm water, such as ocean water, into contact with the process, elimi- nates the use of expensive heat exchangers, which in the case of ocean water, are subject to fouling and loss of efficiency due to clinging microorganisms.
