Thermal device for generating mechanical and electrical energy, has buffer storage unit arranged between working elements and generator unit, and drive elements and working elements that are connected to generator unit and storage unit

摘要

The thermal device (110) has drive elements (111,112) with temperature-dependent expansion medium (115) connected to working element (120) by which generator unit (130) for mechanical and electrical energy is powered. Each drive element is operated with different temperature values in alternating manner. The buffer storage unit (140) for working medium (125) provided in working element is arranged between the working elements (120,121) and the generator unit. The generator unit and buffer storage unit are connected to drive elements and working elements.
