MULTI-HEAT-PIPE ENGINE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F01K25/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat-and-power engineering and can be used for recovery of recycled power resources. The proposed multi-heat-pipe engine comprises a housing accommodating, all along the vapour path, an evaporation chamber made up of vertical evaporation sleeves and a separation section with their surfaces partially coated with a porous material strips, i.e. a wick, forming grooves between themselves, and with a continuous layer of the said wick accommodating discharge headers furnished with nozzles arranged at the evaporation sleeve inlets center, the aforesaid evaporation chamber being separated by the blank partition coated with the wink and a separation element. It also comprises a working chamber filled with the other wink, its side walls allowing the shaft to pass through them and to support the power turbine and feed pumps communicating with the working fluid chambers and spraying nozzles. The aforesaid chamber communicates, via a vapour nozzle, with the evaporation chamber and, via a dead steam nozzle with the condensation chamber made up of a distributing section. The aforesaid section bottom communicates, via the orifices, with the condensation sleeves, the said sleeve bottoms, in their turn, communicate with the working chamber winks via lift winks, the engine output shaft being coupled with the working tool.

EFFECT: engine higher efficiency.
