The external heat motor is meant working medium in the internal system closed circulation, and heating process is undertaken by the wall-type heat exchange mode.Water vapor power cycle, Stirling circulation all are that typical external heat engine cycles, particularly Stirling engine have the backheat regenerator, and theoretical efficiency equals Carnot efficiency.The advantage of external heat is: pluralities of fuel be can adapt to, coal, oil, living beings, various waste heat comprised, even nuclear energy fuel; Combustion process efficient height; Discharging can strict be controlled; Working medium can be selected according to the thermal performance needs.Stirling cylic engine working medium all is to adopt gas mediums such as hydrogen, helium or air to make working medium at present, in order to obtain the higher thermal efficiency and higher power output, intrasystem inflation pressure is generally at 6.0MPa~15.0Mpa, and the actual thermal efficiency can not be satisfactory.Studies show that, utilize phase change medium to obtain higher specific power, conduct heat but also can utilize phase transition process to improve at the mid-inflation stress level, alleviate the problem (Walker that reciprocation sealing brings simultaneously, G. " stirlingEngine ", Oxford University Press, 1980; West, C.D. " Principles and Applications of Stirling Engines ", VananNostrand Reinhold, New York, 1986 ").But, how to realize the never breakthrough of phase change medium cycle heat engine.
The present invention is intended to utilize supercritical fluid backheat heating process to realize the continuous transfer principle of liquid to gas, a kind of external heat phase transformation heat release heat engine is proposed, its advantage is, except utilizing phase change medium to reduce uniform charge pressure, improve specific power, improve outside the heat transfer, can improve the efficient of heat engine, select suitable working medium, its thermal efficiency of cycle will reach the peak efficiency of other thermodynamic cycle at present.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing structural principle of the present invention and working principle are described further.
The present invention includes a power piston 1, power piston 1 is formed an active chamber with cylinder 2, active chamber is connected with external heater 9 by suction valve 3 and pipeline, external heater 9 is connected with the pipe side of supercritical fluid regenerator 5 by pipeline, the pipe side of supercritical fluid regenerator 5 is connected by the exhaust end of pipeline with recycle pump 8, the suction side of recycle pump 8 is connected by the liquid phase of pipeline with condenser 6, the gas phase of condenser 6 is connected by the housing of pipeline with supercritical fluid regenerator 5, the shell-side of supercritical fluid regenerator 5 is connected with the active chamber that power piston 1 and cylinder 2 are formed by pipeline and expulsion valve 10, heater 9 comprises external heat loop 4, and condenser 6 comprises external cooling circuit 7.Regenerator 5 is recuperators.
Working principle of the present invention is, the active chamber of being made up of power piston 1 and cylinder 2 is after suction valve 3 is opened, suction is from the High Temperature High Pressure working medium of external heater 9, externally work done, working chamber volume reaches a certain value, and suction valve 3 cuts out, after this, working chamber volume continues to increase, and continues external work done, until the inner dead point of power piston 1, power piston 1 is returned by inner dead point, expulsion valve 10 is opened immediately, arrives outer dead point up to power piston 1, and expulsion valve 10 cuts out, the gas medium of its process active chamber, be discharged into the shell-side of supercritical fluid regenerator 5, lose sensible heat after, enter condenser 6, be condensed into liquid, emit low-temperature heat quantity, then condensed fluid is recycled pump 7 raising pressure to more than the critical pressure, sends into the pipe side of supercritical fluid regenerator 5, absorb heat, the realization gas-liquid is changed continuously, and enters heater 9 by the continuation heating, improves temperature, enter the active chamber of power piston 1 and cylinder 2 compositions again by pipeline and suction valve 3, to finish circulation.
Fig. 2 is embodiments of the invention two, it is characterized in that, turbo-expander 10 has replaced the reciprocator that is made up of power piston 1, cylinder 2, suction valve 3, expulsion valve 10 among the embodiment 1, applicable to the bigger occasion of power, or the cogeneration occasion, and embodiment 1 is applicable to smaller power occasion and shifter etc.
