ELECTRIC ENERGY GENERATING PLANT ON BASE OF LOW-POTENTIAL POWER SOURCE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F24J3/08 H02N10/00 F02G5/02 

FIELD: electrical engineering, possibly electric energy generating plants on base of liquid low-potential power source.

SUBSTANCE: electric energy generating plant includes converter of neat energy of low-potential water to kinetic energy applied to electric energy generator. Plant is mounted on draining pipeline and it has linear-structure electric energy generator. Said converter is made material with shape memory effect having transition point between temperature of low-potential water and environment and it is kinematically coupled with armature of linear- structure generator. Converter is jointly mounted with possibility of moving from low-potential water to environment and from environment to low-potential water. Environment may be in the form of water pool to which low-potential water is discharged.

EFFECT: possibility of using heat of low-potential waters with temperature 30 - 50°C discharged every day from cooling systems of waters of nuclear and heat electric power stations.
