COAXIAL STEPPED MULTIPLE-HEAT-PIPE ENGINE

摘要

FIELD: engines and pumps. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed engine comprises stages arranged coaxially one after the other and interconnected to make evaporation, working and condensation chambers. First stage evaporation chamber consists of vertical evaporation shells coated by grid of wick strips connected with separation section cover coated by similar grid. Separation section accommodates distribution manifold with injectors and entrainment trap. Separation section bottom is coated by wick layer. Separation chamber communicates with working chamber via annular seal. Working chamber communicates with working member. Said working chamber houses power turbines arranged coaxially one after another. Working chamber communicates via annular seal with condensation chamber consisting of distribution section with its bottom coated by wick whereto connected are condensation shells coated by wick strips connected with wick body. Cylindrical tank is arranged at body center to incorporates feed pump with rotor coupled with power turbine shaft. Pressure pipeline is connected with distribution manifold. Evaporation chamber of each stage is formed by encased tube space of condensation chamber of previous chamber. ^ EFFECT: higher efficiency. ^ 11 dwg
