ARRANGEMENT FOR CONVERTING THERMAL ENERGY AND APPARATUS FOR HEATING AND COOLING A MEDIUM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/000002

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

An arrangement for converting thermal energy into flow force comprises a vaporizer tank (107), in which liquid fluid introduced under pressure is vaporized. The fluid drives a motor (112) and is liquefied in a two-stage collector and passed by means of a pump (105) over the first stage (114) of the condenser into a solar collector (101) and then to the vaporizer tank (107). Cooled liquid fluid is injected by means of nozzles (119) into the second stage (115) of the condenser to bring about complete liquefaction of the fluid. As an alternative to the solar collector (101), liquid fluid may also be heated in a further heat exchanger (138) by a heated medium, which is taken from a reservoir (102).
