Abstract

L'invention concerne un rotor (1), en particulier une pompe à chaleur rotative, comprenant : un axe de rotation (2) ; un certain nombre de canaux de compression (15), dans lesquels un milieu de travail, en particulier un gaz, de préférence un gaz noble, est conduit à l'opposé de l'axe de rotation (2) suite à l'accélération centrifuge dans le but d'augmenter la pression ; un certain nombre de canaux d'expansion (20), dans lesquels le milieu de travail est conduit vers l'axe de rotation (2) suite à l'accélération centrifuge dans le but de diminuer la pression ; un certain nombre de premiers canaux de transfert de chaleur (18) pour le milieu de travail et un certain nombre de deuxièmes canaux de transfert de chaleur (22) pour un milieu de transfert de chaleur, en particulier un liquide, de sorte que la chaleur est transférée entre le milieu de travail s'écoulant dans les premiers canaux de transfert de chaleur (18) et le milieu de transfert de chaleur s'écoulant dans les deuxièmes canaux de transfert de chaleur (22) ; un certain nombre de premières (10) et de deuxièmes plaques de rotor (11), qui comprennent les canaux de compression (15), les canaux d'expansion (20), les premiers canaux de transfert de chaleur (18) pour le milieu de travail et les deuxièmes canaux de transfert de chaleur (22) pour le milieu de transfert de chaleur ; les premières (10) et deuxièmes plaques de rotor (11) étant reliées l'une à l'autre le long de leurs plans d'extension principaux.
