Heat Converter to Mechanical Motion
Summary:
The conversion of kinetic energy to heat was discovered by Homo erectus by rubbing two pieces of
wood, the rapid rotation can ignite dry grass. This discovery marked a turning
point in prehistory; humans differ from other species then. By converting the
kinetic energy of its action resulting from the heat, about 400,000 years
ago...
Since that,
we never managed to make inverse. That mean, heat to mechanical motion. All we
have done up today, is transformation one kind of motion to another one which
is more operational.
Examples: Waterwheels, water mills, windmills, water turbine,
wind turbine, steam engines, combustion engines, gas turbines...
Wanting to assert that, an air conditioner must provide power to
replace a part of calories subtracted from its environment; today this
statement will be assimilated to a utopian, esoteric, obscure even a crazy's
allegation. So it may becomes a banal truism, when it
is done…
However if we bare the
thermodynamic processes, removed the practical methods obsolete, entered to the
processes that have proven their efficiency in the electrodynamic practices, exemple: (Power Factor correction capacitors)
Heat converter to Mechanical
Motion.
This task may be performed by
deposition of the three Elements, Which contain as part of a whole.
- Heat above 297 ° Kelvin.
- A heat pump with good COP, . Energy Efficiency Ratio, EERarranged for these uses.
- *A closed-cycle, device used by OTEC or any similar one.
Operation:
1.
Compressor
(7) is fed by imported energy, in starting cycle and when energy of turbine (3)
is inadequate.
2. The fluid or
steam flowing in the circuit 1, goes out after have let a part its calories.
3. Boiler (2) is
heated by circuit (1) and condenser (8), together drives the Turbine (3).
4. Turbine's output
vapors are condensed in tank (5), cooling is bringing by Evaporator (10) and
helped by cooled fluid (11).
5. Circuit (11) towards 10) has a duty as a loss
corrector, similar to capacitors correction of Power Factor, in electrical applications…
6. The cooling evaporator (10) is turbine’s main
condensing device in starting cycle, it become supportive to circuit (11) in
normal functions.
7. Heats
generated by compressor (7) are recycled by heat exchanger in boiler (2) to
drive turbine.
1: Heat bring, 2: Boiler and thermal exchanger, 3: Vapor Turbine, 4:
Alternator, 5: Condensing tank, 6: Fluid pump, 7: Compressor, 8: Condenser and
recycled compressor’s heats, 9 regulators, 10: Evaporator, 11 Recycled cooling
fluid, 12 Electricity output.
Note: Compressor 7, Condenser 8, regulators 9, Evaporator 10 are principal
components of most, usual Air conditioners, Heat pumps, Freezers, Refrigerators…
* Closed-cycle OTEC uses
working fluids that are typically thought of as refrigerants such as ammonia or R-134a. These fluids have low
boiling points, and are therefore suitable for powering the system’s generator
to generate electricity. The most commonly used heat cycle for OTEC to date is
the Rankine cycle, using a low-pressure
turbine. (Wikipedia)
