The energy converter has a housing (11), in which a reaction chamber (13) and a combustion chamber (15) are arranged. Concentrated solar radiation is conducted from a parabolic mirror (23) arranged above the reactor housing through a transparent solar glass (31) into the reaction chamber and there strikes a conical reflector (33) which distributes the radiation in the reaction chamber (13). Hydrogen and chlorine are guided in the molecular state via lines (19, 21) into the reaction chamber, in which the chlorine molecules disassociate to form atomic chlorine as a result of the radiation. Chlorine molecules and hydrogen molecules are, together with oxygen supplied via openings (37), guided into the combustion chamber (15), in which a controlled explosive reaction takes place to form hydrogen chloride. The reaction heat and the reaction pressure can be utilised for driving a turbine or a piston machine, it being possible to heat a medium in a duct (30) in the inside of the reactor. When this energy converter is used, fossil fuels can be forgone. Moreover, a complete cleaning of the combustion products arising is possible. <IMAGE> |
