HEAT TRANSFER METHOD AND ANTI-GRAVITATIONAL WICKLESS HEAT PIPE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F28D15/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: heat transfer method comprises the placement into the first heat carrier of the second heat carrier and heat exchange between them. The second heat carrier capable to movement in the first heat carrier due to reduction of its volume at temperature increase is used for transfer of the accumulated thermal energy. The thermal energy is accumulated in the upstream area of the first heat carrier with higher temperature, and the accumulated thermal energy is transferred to the downstream area of the first heat carrier with lower temperature. At temperature drop, the second heat carrier from the downstream area of the first heat carrier with lower temperature is moved to the upstream area of the first heat carrier with higher temperature at the expense of increase in its volume. Heat transfer device is usually designed with a possibility of return to the heat reception zone by the heat carrier when rebalancing between forces of its buoyancy and gravity as a result of temperature drop.

EFFECT: energy efficiency increase.
