Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently recover thermal energy by connecting two airtight chambers that can be stretched freely and has different pressure reception areas with a plate that can travel or the like and connecting each airtight chamber to a heat source using a heat pipe with a thermal switch function. SOLUTION: When thermal switches 31 and 34 are turned on while an airtight chamber 5 in a body 41 being divided by a piston 42 with a different pressure reception area has shrunk to the maximum and an airtight chamber 6 has expanded to the maximum, heat flows from a high-temperature heat medium 1 to a fluid 51 in the airtight chamber 5 and from a heat source 14 to a fluid 52 in the airtight chamber 6 through heat pipes 21 and 32, respectively, and the pressure of each of the airtight chambers 5 and 6 increases. Then, the piston 42 is operated by pressure at the side of the airtight chamber 5 with a large pressure reception area, the fluid 52 of the airtight chamber 6 is compressed, and temperature rises. After that, by opening thermal switches 33 and 32 at appropriate timing, the heat of the fluids 52 and 52 is allowed to flow to the heat source 3 and the low-temperature heat medium 2, respectively, via the heat pipes 23 and 22, thus inverting the motion of the piston 42 and repeating the same operation.
