POWER GENERATION BY CONVERTING LOW GRADE THERMAL ENERGY TO HYDROPOWER

摘要

A low-grade heat power generation system method and devise characterized by converting an organic vapor pressure to a hydro fluid pressure for hydropower generation comprises an organic fluid circuit in thermal communication with a warm source and a cold source, as an organic vapor pressure supply, a vapor pressure to hydro pressure convertor unit comprises a plurality of pressure vessels in a direct conversion method and a reciprocating hydro pump in an indirect conversion method, where the pressurized organic vapor pressurizes a working hydro fluid, and a hydro fluid circuit, where the pressurized hydro fluid runs a hydro turbine to generate hydropower.
