<HTML>Hi Peter,
Gotaverken system? Vell, yumpin' yiminy, dat's good fer you! Vish I had a verken system, ya shure, you betcha. :)
I wonder if the same principle could be applied to a single-expansion engine, with an exhaust turbine adding pressure to the steam entering the valve chest from the throttle? This could be done by recompressing some exhaust steam back into the valve chest, perhaps via a reheat loop in the boiler?
Then again, if an exhaust steam turbine is to be added, it would probably be better to have it run some powerplant auxiliaries, or at least assist in running them.
