HEAT-ELECTRIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering; producing various kinds of energy for heating air and water, as well as for power generation. SUBSTANCE: generator has heater case with combustion chamber and water jacket, fan-motor unit, rotor, inlet and outlet air nozzles; case accommodates thermoelectric modules for powering fan-motor unit and peripheral loads; rotor has plane-parallel disks separated from combustion chamber by means of hermetically sealed spacer wall mounting mentioned thermoelectric modules which are also installed on horizontal surfaces of combustion chamber; spacer wall has heat-transfer strips mounted on rotor side in air gaps between plane-parallel disks. Proposed generator functions to produce three energy carriers: hot water, hot air, and electrical energy. EFFECT: facilitated maintenance and starting procedures, improved environmental friendliness and safety in operation. 3 cl, 2 dwg
