<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves injecting high pressure liquid into a main flow of working fluid and a secondary flow of accelerated working fluid such that the fluid of secondary flow instantaneously vaporizes in the main flow. The main flow of working fluid is passed in a turbine (4) optionally containing the recompressed fluid to reduce the main flow speed. A portion of the main flow of the working fluid is collected in vapor that is condensed in order to form a secondary liquid flow. Heat generated during liquefaction of the secondary fluid flow is recovered and exploited to heat the working fluid. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a device for converting mechanical energy into thermal energy from a heat source in a thermodynamic cycle applied to dry working fluid. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for converting mechanical energy into thermal energy from a heat source in a thermodynamic cycle e.g. Rankine, organic Rankine, Brayton or Stirling cycles, applied to dry working fluid to produce electricity for an electric alternator. Can also be used for producing electricity from heat coming from combustion of coal or nuclear reaction. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method enables recovering the heat generated during the liquefaction of the secondary fluid flow such that the recovered heat is exploited to heat the working fluid, thus significantly improving output of the thermodynamic cycle. The method enables avoiding the need for expensive materials resistant to high temperatures. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a block diagram of a thermal cycle of a device for converting mechanical energy into thermal energy from a heat source in a thermodynamic cycle applied to dry working fluid in certain mode.'(Drawing includes non-English language text)' 1 : Heat exchanger 2 : Coolant 4 : Turbine 5 : Compressor 6 : Condenser.</p> |
