FIELD: power industry.
SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to the design and method of the heat energy conversion to the mechanical energy. The design contains linear loop (3), circulation device (4) ensuring refrigerant circulation in the linear loop (3), evaporator (6) where the refrigerant will be evaporated using the heat source (7), turbine (9) made with possibility to drive using the evaporated refrigerant the condenser (12) and gathering tank (14) to store the refrigerant that does not circulate in the linear loop (3). The design contains the control box made to estimate degree of the linear loop (3) filling. The flow device (16, 30) supplying the refrigerant from the gathering tank to the linear loop is made with possibility to supply the gaseous refrigerant from the gathering tank to the area of the linear loop, where the refrigerant is in gaseous phase, or with possibility of supply of the liquid refrigerant from the gathering tank to the area of the linear loop, where the refrigerant is in liquid phase.
EFFECT: improved design.
