METHOD OF CONVERTING LOW-POTENTIAL HEAT INTO ELECTRIC POWER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: heat power engineering. SUBSTANCE: method comprises compressing gas with a blower which is connected with the loop provided with evaporator, thus allowing the gas to work, expanding gas, and lowering its temperature. The temperature of the gas is then recovered with an external heat carrier as gas returns to the blower. Liquid humidifier is supplied with a condensate pump , sprayed and evaporated in gas up to complete saturation thus allowing heat of gas is transferred to latent heat of vapors. Compression energy of gas is converted to mechanical work inside the actuating turbine. EFFECT: simplified method. 3 cl, 2 dwg
