RU2357329C1 - Method of generating electric current - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to power engineering and can be used in generating electric current for stand-alone objects: farms, isolated houses etc. Thermocouples, insulated from each other, are mounted on both sides of a flat panel made from non-thermal-electro conductive material. Hot electrodes are heated using a lens made from glass or from hollow film cells, filled with water into the shape of a lens, or using spherical mirrors such that, the focus of the light beam falls on one or a group of hot electrodes and/or they are blown with hot air at 150-200°C. On the side of cold electrodes, rigidly fixed inside a pipe made from non-thermal-electro conductive material and fitted with containers and a pump made from ammonia resistant material, ammonia is released while heating opposite electrodes at the same time, closing their common electrical circuit.

EFFECT: invention increases efficiency, as well as intensity and power of the generated electric current.

Description

The invention relates to energy, relates to the improvement of the method of producing electrical energy and can be used to create local power plants.

Closest to the invention in technical essence is a method of producing electric current based on the use of thermoelectric elements (RU 2171521 C2, IPC H01L 35/28, published July 27, 2001).

The disadvantages of this method are the insufficient strength and power of the resulting electric current and low efficiency.

The objective of the invention is to increase the strength and power of the current and increase the efficiency of the method of producing electric current.

This problem is solved due to the fact that first, on a flat panel consisting of non-thermal conductive material, thermocouples are mounted in parallel rows with the same pitch, insulated both among themselves and between the rows; moreover, in thermocouples, a "hot" electrode is rigidly attached to one side of the panel, and the other "cold" is rigidly attached to the opposite side of the panel; in this case, the “cold” electrode is rigidly mounted inside the tube of a non-thermally conductive material perpendicular to its longitudinal axis in the middle of the cross section, and all tubes are combined into a single closed circuit, equipped with tanks and a pump made of ammonia-resistant materials, and lenses made of rigid are mounted on top of the “hot” electrode glass or from hollow film cells filled with water in the form of lenses, or spherical mirrors so that the focus of the light flux from the lenses falls on the middle of each or group of neighboring "griefs sneeze "electrodes; after that thermocouples are connected in one electric circuit with a common contactor, then “hot” electrodes are illuminated with the sun or another light source and / or blown with air or inert gas with a temperature of 150-200 degrees Celsius and simultaneously they are passed through tubes from the “cold” electrodes liquid ammonia at such a rate that the rate of heat removal would be greater than or at least equal to the rate of heat from the environment to the pipelines in order to eliminate or reduce the freezing of ice on the pipelines; then they close the circuit with a common contact and thus receive an electric current. '

An example implementation of the method.

For any autonomous object, such as a farm, you can mount an electric current source as follows. First, on a flat panel consisting of a non-thermally conductive material, they are mounted in parallel rows with the same pitch and isolated both between themselves and between the rows of thermocouples in which the "hot" electrode is rigidly attached to one side of the panel, and the other - "cold" is rigidly fixed to the opposite side of the specified panel; in this case, the “cold” electrode is rigidly mounted inside the tube of a non-thermally conductive material perpendicular to its longitudinal axis in the middle of the cross section, and all tubes are combined into a single closed circuit, equipped with tanks and a pump made of ammonia-resistant materials, and lenses are rigidly mounted on top of the “hot” electrode or from glass, or from hollow film cells filled with water in the form of lenses, or spherical mirrors so that the focus of the light flux from the lenses falls in the middle of each or a group of neighboring hot "electrodes. After that, the thermocouples are connected in one electric circuit with a common contactor, then the hot electrodes are illuminated with the sun or another light source and / or blown with air or an inert gas with a temperature of 150-200 degrees Celsius and at the same time they are passed through tubes from the side of the "cold" electrodes liquid ammonia at such a rate that the rate of heat removal would be greater than or at least equal to the rate of heat from the environment to the pipelines in order to exclude or reduce the freezing of ice on the pipelines, m short circuit.

Technical results of the invention are obtained due to the fact that:

- first, they are mounted on a flat panel of non-thermally conductive material in parallel rows with the same pitch and isolated both between themselves and between the rows of thermocouples in which the "hot" electrode is rigidly attached on one side of the panel, and the other - "cold" is rigidly fixed on the opposite side the specified panel, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the method;

- the use of liquid ammonia for "cold" electrodes, and lenses and / or blowing with hot air for "hot" electrodes serve the purpose of: increasing the temperature difference and thereby increasing the strength and power of the resulting electric current and increasing the efficiency of the method.
