The invention relates to energy conversion and generation systems and more specifically to a system and method of generating and converting energy by way of a pressure differential in a working fluid. A Pressure Power System is described comprising a cold sub system a warm sub system a work extraction system and a hydraulic pump arranged in a closed loop. The cold sub system and the warm sub system are respectively maintained at lower and higher temperatures relative to one another so that a Working Fluid circulated through the closed loop by the pump will have different equilibrium vapor pressures in the two sub systems. The different respective state functions of the Working Fluid results in two different levels of elastic potential energy and subsequently a pressure differential between the two sub systems. A work extraction system is positioned between the two sub systems to convert the elastic potential energy/pressure differential into useful kinetic energy. |
