Abstract

A heat recovery system for a turbomachine system includes a heat removal system and a refrigeration system. The heat removal system is fluidly connected to at least one component of the turbomachine system. The heat removal system passes a cooling fluid through the at least one component to absorb heat. The refrigeration system is operatively connected to the heat removal system. The refrigeration system extracts the heat from the cooling fluid passing through the at least one component of the turbomachine system to produce a cooling effect.
