VORTEX THERMOTRANSFORMER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: heat-power engineering and refrigerating engineering; vortex tubes and thermotransformers using Ranque effect. SUBSTANCE: device has packet sectional plate-type energy divider with nozzle tangential inlets in each section connected to gas or liquid energy carrier source and axial outlet branch pipes with flow swirler, vacuum vortex accelerating chamber connected with plate-type energy divider. Vacuum vortex accelerating chamber is formed by walls of sections of packet plate-type energy divider interconnected hermetically over their outer diameter. Outlet branch pipes of sections are coaxial relative to each other forming together widening ejector bell mouth. Nozzles of tangential inlets are connected to supply source through individual flow and pressure regulators. Walls of sections are parallel to each other or are located at angle relative to each other equal to 3 to 5 deg. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2 dwg
