SELF-CONTAINED ELECTRIC AND THERMAL ENERGY SOURCE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F02B63/04 

FIELD: mobile self-contained electric and thermal energy sources.

SUBSTANCE: proposed energy source includes internal combustion engine with fuel supply main and liquid cooling loop with heat exchanger, exhaust branch pipe with gas-and-liquid heat exchanger, electric energy generator and frame. Gas-and-liquid heat exchanger is made in form of heat-and-steam generator with combustion chamber and gas ejector; liquid loops of gas-and-liquid heat exchanger are connected to user or to intermediate heat exchanger. Fuel supply mains of internal combustion engine and heat-and-steam generator may be equipped with adjusting shut-off valves; they may work on common fuel. Cavity formed before nozzle of gas ejector is used as receiver; nozzle performs function of igniter. Liquid cooling loop of internal combustion engine may be connected through intermediate heat exchanger to liquid loop of gas-and-liquid heat exchanger of heat-and-steam generator.

EFFECT: extended functional capabilities at high degree of unification; enhanced efficiency due to complete utilization of exhaust gas and water vapor heat.
