Description

DESCRIPTION
ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEM BY MEANS OF FRICTION
FIELD OF ART The invention relates to the field of energy production and in particular to the field of energy production by means of friction. In particular it refers to production of energy by means of friction and even more specifically to production of energy by means of friction of a liquid passing through mechanical parts of a system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The energy production system through friction disclosed in the present invention has not been disclosed in the prior art.
In recent years, the prices of heating oil have equaled those of diesel, resulting in the use of other energy systems. In the past, electricity systems have been presented which using the criterion of energy efficiency, are classified into two groups.
The first group includes all systems that use electrical resistors, such as fan heaters, convectors, halogen stoves, electric oil heaters, etc. These systems have a performance factor around the unit. That is, for 1 kwh of thermal energy they require the consumption of about 1 kwh of electricity.
The second group includes all systems that use the principle of heat transfer, such as air conditioners and central heat pumps. These systems have reached an efficiency factor that starts from 3,5 units and can reach around 5 units. That is, 1 kWh of electricity can deliver 3,5 - 5 kwh of thermal energy.
As it is shown, the above systems have relatively small efficiency coefficients, while at the same time they are complex in their operation and present structural constraints, in terms of increasing the degree of efficiency while at the same time leaving an energy imprint on nature.
It is thus an object of the present invention to advantageously deal with the aforementioned disadvantages and shortcomings of the prior art by proposing the production of energy through friction, with zero or little energy footprint in nature.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a friction energy production system which achieves greater energy efficiency and which can reach and exceed 20 units.
Another feature of the invention is that the friction energy production system has an adjustable clearance for the flow of liquid in the friction fitting.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following detailed description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art with reference to the accompanying drawings in which it is depicted in an illustrative, non-limiting manner.
Figure 1 shows a sketch of an indicative section of the friction energy production mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring now to the accompanying drawings, we will describe indicative embodiments of the system for the production of energy through friction of the present invention.
The main goal to achieve high and continuous energy efficiency is that the liquid passing through the mechanical parts of a system, which is compressed and moves at high speed and through its friction develops a high temperature, should have high energy efficiency greater than 1: 20.
The friction energy production system, Fig. 1, consists of a kinetic energy source (1), a friction mechanism (2) and an indirect contact heat exchanger (3). The source of kinetic energy (1) can be wind or solar or any other type of energy supplying a pump (4) for the introduction and circulation of liquid (5), through piping (6) for the purpose of rotation or regression of the components that make up the friction mechanism (2) through its horizontal axis (7).
In the friction energy production system there is the friction mechanism (2), in which friction takes place. The friction mechanism (2) consists of an outer fixed housing (8), inside which there is the horizontal axis (7), on which the rotating friction fitting (9) with adjustable clearance for the passage of the liquid (5) is mounted. Liquid (5) passes between the outer housing (8) and the friction member (9) and friction is developed through the rotating surface of the friction member (9). Rotation is achieved by means of a motor (1) which is firmly connected to the connecting part (10) and the horizontal axis (7). The liquid (5) can be water, oil or any other suitable liquid and is within a closed circuit with an automatic filler to keep constant the amount of the liquid. The closed circuit has also a pressure regulator and temperature control, elements that are adjusted to achieve the desired degree of efficiency. The shape of the outer, fixed housing (8) matches the corresponding shape of the friction fitting (9) which may be, for example, conical but also cylindrical or hemispherical, respectively.
The liquid (5) when leaving the friction mechanism (2) is led to an indirect contact heat exchanger (3), which is filled with liquid (11). The two fluids, both the one moving through the piping (6) and the one inside the heat exchanger (3), remain continuously separated and the heat is transferred through a spiral separating surface (12) from one to the other. The liquid (5) is then returned to the pump (4) through the piping (6) and re-introduced into the friction mechanism (2), in a recurrent process.
The adjustment of the clearance in the rotating friction part (9) is made gradually by the presence of a screw (13), which when rotated is tightened on a bearing (14), which compresses the case (15) on a first spring (16), located at the one end of the horizontal axis (7) and rotates in the center of the outer housing (8) through the centering bearings (18) achieving sealing with the gaskets (19). At the other end of the horizontal axis (7) there is another centering bearing (18) with sealing gaskets (19) and the second spring (17), which is approximately three times thicker than the first spring (16). In this way it opposes to the right the horizontal axis (7) and adjusts the clearance between the outer, fixed housing (8) and the legs of the friction component (9), ensuring the necessary gradation.
It should be noted at this point that the description of the invention has been made with reference to non-limiting embodiments. Therefore any change or modification in anything concerning the shape, dimensions, manner, morphology, materials used and components of construction and assembly, as long as they are not a new inventive step and do not contribute to the technical development of the already known, are considered contained in the purposes and in the aspirations of the present invention.
