HEATING METHOD OF HEAT CARRIERS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F24J3/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: heating method of heat carriers involves their heating with electric current. Electric current is obtained by conversion of mechanical energy of water flow in water conduit (pipelines) to electric energy. For that purpose, the water conduit having parts of walls, which are movable in radial direction, is placed in water flow, and hydraulic impact leading to radial movements of movable parts of water conduit walls is initiated from time to time in water conduit. Magnets with magnetic conductors and windings consisting of insulated wire are installed on water conduit walls, thus forming magnetic circuits. Heat insulated jacket inside which there are magnets with magnetic conductors and windings is arranged on water conduit; heat carrier is pumped through jacket and heated with vortex electric currents occurring in magnetic conductors and with currents induced in windings loaded with electric resistances and determined with the change in magnetic flow in magnetic circuits, at radial movement of movable parts of water conduit walls.

EFFECT: increasing efficiency.
