Method for converting thermal energy into mechanical work

摘要

The method involves supplying a warm heat transfer medium into a workspace (2a) of a heat exchanger (1a). An amount of an operating fluid is isochorically heated in another workspace (3a) of the heat exchanger by the heat transfer medium. A partial amount of the amount of the operating medium is overflowed and is heated in the latter workspace. A third workspace (3c) of a third heat exchanger (1c) is connected with a pneumatic hydraulic converter (17), and a hydraulic medium is discharged from the converter by the pressure of the operating medium. An independent claim is also included for a device for converting a thermal energy into a mechanical energy.
