DEVICE FOR AIR TRANSPORT OF LOOSE MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B65G53/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to air transport of disperse materials and may be used in construction, metallurgy, chemical industry, etc. Proposed device comprises trough with aerating appliance communicated via discharge opening and gate with transfer pipeline, gas feed main line with vortex tube, ejector, filter and oil-and-water catcher, aerating appliance gas lines and transfer pipeline. Vortex pipeline is communicated with thermo electrical generator composed of a case with hot and cold flow channels and set of differential thermocouples. Vortex tube cold flow outlet is communicated with flow-through channel for thermo electrical generator cold flow. Flow-through channel outlet is communicated with transfer pipeline. Vortex tube hot flow outlet is communicated with flow-through channel for thermo electrical generator hot flow. Flow-through channel outlet is communicated with aerating appliance. Cold ends of differential thermocouples are secured inside cold flow channel while hot ends are secured indie flow-through hot flow channel.

EFFECT: reduced specific power consumption.
