Pressure chamber for thermal energy machine has movable boundary wall with membrane supported by support element forming bridge with stationary wall of pressure chamber

摘要

The pressure chamber has at least one axially movable boundary wall reciprocated between 2 reversal points, provided with a flexible membrane attached to a stationary wall of the pressure chamber, a support element having a bearing surface for the membrane and providing a bridge between the stationary wall and the movable wall during the axial movement. Also included are Independent claims for the following: (a) a thermal energy machine; (b) an electricity generation plant using hydraulic and/or thermal energy
