ENERGY SAVING APPLIANCE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F02G5/04 F02N19/00 F02B77/11 

FIELD: physics, instrumentation.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to technical means (TM) comprising a heat engine (HE) operated at low ambient temperatures. The TM contains a thermal insulation capsule, equipped with service, ventilation hatches, hatch covers and an outlet port with a valve, as well as HE cooling system radiator, battery and heat preparation device located in the HE capsule. The heat preparation device is configured to generate electricity and heat during catalytic combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. The heat preparation device comprises an air blower with electric drive and air inlet, a combustor, a catalyst, a thermoelectric converter, a thermoelectric catalyst heater, an outlet pipe. The air blower electric drive, the thermoelectric converter and the thermoelectric catalyst heater are configured for electrical connection with battery terminals. The output mouth of the discharge pipe is located in the cavity of the capsule, the air blower intake is arranged on the outer surface of the capsule. The heat preparation device is provided with a heat exchanger arranged to transfer the part of the heat generated by the HE heat preparation device.

EFFECT: invention provides a quick HE start-up after a long TM outage at low ambient temperatures.
