The The invention relates to an engine that consists of an evaporator, container and Liquid turbine consists. Across from known solutions With gas or steam turbines, this arrangement is characterized significantly higher Efficiency.

description

The invention relates to an engine which consists of an evaporator, tank or working cylinder and liquid turbine. Compared to known gas or steam turbines is distinguished
this arrangement by significantly higher efficiency, especially if in addition suitable control mechanisms are used. As a heat source for the evaporator, the most diverse sources of energy such. As sun, fossil fuels or
GEO heat can be used.

State of the art

Similar Arrangements are used in power plants for power generation and usually consist of heat source, Evaporator, steam turbine and condenser. The cooled steam or liquid is returned to the evaporator.

In Hydroelectric power plants will provide the static and kinetic energy of the Water used by water wheels or turbines driven become. fluid turbines opposite Steam turbines on a much better efficiency, depending on Size and type between 90-98% can lie.

The Turbine shaft drives in both cases a generator that is used to generate electricity.

task

The Invention could generally referred to as an effective energy converter, the heat energy converts into rotational energy with high efficiency. The energy or power which can be tapped at the turbine shaft in varied way be used.

According to the invention this is achieved as shown in Figure 1 (principle).

The Engine consists of evaporator (V), one or more tanks [working cylinders (Azy)] and a liquid turbine (T).

V Is the evaporator, which is the liquid in the gaseous Condition convicted.

When For example, an energy source can be any kind of fossil fuel be used. A heater or heat exchanger brings the liquid to Evaporation and thus to the necessary working pressure.

Will now the valve 1c open the steam flows to the tank.

Before, the container was over valve 2a filled with liquid, while the exhaust air (exhaust steam) via valve 2 B escape.

If valve 1c open, must also valve 2c be opened. The flowing steam pushes the water over the open valve 2c from the container.

meaningful is possibly a separating piston which is the hot steam from the cold water / liquid separates. It also prevents a vortex formation.

As with the motor vehicle, the exhaust valve is at bottom dead center 2 B opened, in our case but the valves 1c and 2c closed.

After that, the valves 2a and 2 B opened and the working cylinder refilled. The process described begins again.

T Is a liquid turbine or z. B. also water turbine.

The Turbine transforms the flowing Water in rotational energy or work and power to. It is inexpensive to produce and has an efficiency of about 90% up to 98%, depending on the embodiment.

A Steam turbine has compared several levels is more complex constructed and a much lower efficiency.

A execution of the engine in Figure 2 additionally a Windkessel (WK) which has the task, the high and steep Intercept initial pressure of expansion and compensate. The turbine then sees only a slightly fluctuating working pressure.

Of the container FV is used to catch the sewage and to close the Water cycle. He can also be used for other tasks become.

Evaporator V:

• a) The evaporator can be classic, like a Steam boiler with heater, feed pump and exhaust valve or
• b) The evaporator is replaced his warmth offer from the sun. A solar collector converts the radiation into heat. This can be directly from the collector or via a heat exchanger.
• c) Also the waste heat a car on the radiator or on the exhaust can be used.
• d) As an energy source for The evaporator can generate geothermal energy or solar energy.

In front everything for the at geowärme used ORC or Kalina process, the engine is ideally suited because it is economical even with low working temperatures or pressures job.

When container z. B. by means of suitable sensors and electronically controlled valves 1c and 2a , b, c This setting can be changed and adjusted as desired from the maximum pressure to the negative pressure.

This is beneficial to faster filling the container after emptying.
