ROTARY PRESSURE RELIEF SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The invention provides an energy recovery device comprising a first SMA core housed in a first immersion chamber and adapted to be sequentially filled with fluid to allow heating and/or cooling of the first SMA core wherein a first shaft is adapted to be turned by the SMA core mounted concentrically around said first shaft; a second SMA core housed in a second immersion chamber and adapted to be sequentially filled with fluid to allow heating and/or cooling of the second SMA core wherein a second shaft is adapted to be turned by the second SMA core mounted concentrically around said second shaft; wherein the first and second core are in fluid communication with each other.

1. An energy recovery device comprising:
a first SMA core housed in a first immersion chamber and adapted to be sequentially filled with fluid to allow heating and/or cooling of the first SMA core wherein a first shaft is adapted to be turned by the SMA core mounted concentrically around said first shaft; a second SMA core housed in a second immersion chamber and adapted to be sequentially filled with fluid to allow heating and/or cooling of the second SMA core wherein a second shaft is adapted to be turned by the second SMA core mounted concentrically around said second shaft; wherein the first and second core are in fluid communication with each other such that a substantially constant pressure is maintained in the energy recovery device.
