  • the use of water as the storage medium and of carbon dioxide as a working medium is preferred.
  • the economic advantage of the invention is that regenerative energy can be stored for a long time with low losses by conversion into mechanical and thermal energy, which enables demand-based supply of electrical energy and heat based on regenerative energy.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the site-independent application of the invention for the conversion of regenerative or other excess energy into storable mechanical energy and its re-conversion into electrical energy for on-demand care.

  • the discharge begins with the discharge of the water from the pressurized water reservoir 4 via the recuperator 3 and the pressurized water turbine 7, which leads to flash evaporation of carbon dioxide in the working fluid accumulator 5 and the supply of liquid carbon dioxide from the working fluid accumulator 5 to the recuperator third
  • the working fluid in the working fluid reservoir cools to 10 ° C., corresponding to a vapor pressure of 45 bar.
  • This pressure is maintained in the system by the transfer of heat from the pressurized water to liquid carbon dioxide in the recuperator 3, whereby the water cools back to 10 ° C.
  • the TKV-E process achieves a clear procedural superiority over pumped storage plants at locations where waste heat is available, which is usually discharged to the environment via recooling plants.
  • An application example of this type shows FIG. 2 ,
  • the water conveyed by the pressurized water pump 2 displaces the carbon dioxide vapor from the pressurized water reservoir 4 past the turbomachine 8 as far as the recuperator 3 during loading.
  • the working medium does not give off its heat of condensation to the storage medium water, but to the recooling 10 from.

  • variant 2 achieves a pressure ratio of 80 to 55 bar, resulting in a pressure ratio of 1.45, which increases the working capacity of the pressurized water from 1.20 to 2.1 kWh / t of water. This results in a reduction in the volume of the pressurized water storage tank by about 40% with the same energy potential.
  • FIG. 2 shows, possible to switch between the recuperator 3 and the pressurized water storage 4, a machine 8, which lowers the pressure in the pressurized water reservoir 4 during loading or increases during discharge.
