GRAVITATIONAL PLANT Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering; heat and electric power supply systems. SUBSTANCE: proposed plant has heaters, coolers, hydraulic turbine and circulation pump arranged at different levers in height and united into closed circuit by circulating liquid or suspension flow with ascending and descending lines/made of pipelines and/or heat exchangers. Components of circuit can be of different design. EFFECT: increased efficiency of heat and power supply by using gravitational forces, volumetric expansion and contraction of bodies at heating and cooling, movement of gas bubbles in liquids and translational movement of vortex flow. 11 cl, 2 dwg
