FIELD: power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: when converting thermal energy into mechanical energy using a working medium, which consists of a mixture with at least two substances, which have different temperatures of boiling and condensation, the working medium is supplied to a condenser and is condensed there. To avoid exfoliation of the mixture of substances, prior to or in process of working medium condensation in the condenser the liquid phase of the working medium is fixed with the steam-like phase of the working medium. Therefore, a homogeneous mixture of substances is again produced, which is condensed at lower pressure compared to the exfoliated working medium.
EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase efficiency of thermal energy conversion into mechanical one.
