HEAT ENGINE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: heat power engineering. SUBSTANCE: heat engine has boiler filled with ammonia accommodating coil of condenser containing heat conducting plates on its surface. Boiler is connected with rotary engine in upper part by pipe through cock to deliver ammonia vapors and through heat insulating washer. Axis of rotation of engine is displaced relative to axis of inner cylindrical surface. Engine output is connected with cooler coil by pipe through heat insulating washer to decrease heat losses in pipe. Cooler coil is placed inside evaporator coil and is secured by means of heat insulating holders, output of coil is connected by pipe through heat insulating washer with rotary pump whose shaft is connected through heat insulating coupling with shaft of electric drive. Output of rotary pump is connected by pipe through heat insulating washer with boiler to return liquefied ammonia into boiler. Heat engine has electric generator whose shaft is connected through heat insulating coupling with first extension of rotary engine shaft, second extension of shaft being connected through heat insulating coupling with output shaft from which mechanical energy is taken off to drive electric generator. Heat engine has storage battery for electric drive connected to rotary compressor and electric drive of rotary pump at period of heat engine starting which has also switching device for switching off storage battery and switching on electric generator when rated power output is reached to supply machine loads. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities, improved reliability. 2 dwg
