SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING HEAT ENERGY, PARTICULARLY FOR UTILIZING HEAT ENERGY OF THE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

System for converting heat energy of a source of practically nonlimited capacity, particularly for utilizing heat energy of the environment, comprising a closed heat pump circuit connected to actuating means (3) for energizing them, wherein the heat pump circuit includes evaporating means (1) receiving heat energy of an outer medium for converting a liquid into vapour, compressing means (2) for increasing pressure of the vapour and condensing means (4) for restituting liquid from the compressed vapour, the system being furnished with an energy output terminal. The essence of the proposed system lies in comprising a closed driving circuit being in thermal contact with the condensing means (4), producing thereby a superheated vapour for energizing the actuating means (3), the driving circuit including means for condensating the superheated vapour leaving the output of the actuating means (3) and transporting means (6) for forwarding the liquid to the condensing means (4). The invented system is capable of utilizing the heat energy of environment without any input from an outer energy source based on electric network or fossil fuel.
