COOLING SYSTEM HAVING STIRLING ENGINE FOR INSTALLATIONS OPERATING WITHOUT COMMUNICATION WITH ATMOSPHERE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: heat-and-power engineering equipment. SUBSTANCE: system is used for installation cooling by supplying of gaseous carbon dioxide and alkaline-earth metal-magnesium into reactor. As result of reaction between magnesium and carbon dioxide solid and gaseous phases appear. Solid and gaseous phases are separated into separator. Solid phase is stored into accumulator, gaseous phase is introduced into reactor. Non- reacted carbon oxide is separated into separator from solid phase and supplied through re-circulation pipeline into reactor by means of pump. Heat of chemical reactions carried out in the one reactor is transferred through loop with intermediate heat medium to Stirling engine working medium. Heat of chemical reactions carried out in the other reactor is transferred to working medium of cooling machine which utilizes heat. Carbon dioxide is fed into reactor through heat-exchanger, in which heat is supplied from solid phase stored into reactor accumulator, and then through heat-exchanger in which heat is supplied from accumulator. EFFECT: Stirling engine performance reliability and decreased cost of cooling system. 1 dwg
