A POWER GENERATOR AND A METHOD OF GENERATING POWER
20180306066 · 2018-10-25 · ·

The invention relates to a power generator. The power generator comprises a vessel provided with a heat exchanging unit for alternatingly heating and cooling an organic based working fluid contained in the interior of the vessel during operation of the power generator. Further, the power generator comprises a mechanical unit associated with the vessel and provided with a reciprocating moving element that moves responsive to the heating and cooling process. The heat exchanging unit is arranged for heating the working fluid from below an evaporation temperature and for cooling the working fluid from above the evaporation temperature. Further, the power generator comprises a pressure transferring structure for transferring a pressure exerted by gas in the vessel towards the mechanical unit for driving the reciprocating moving element.

Systems and methods of converting heat to electrical power
09896975 · 2018-02-20 ·

This invention presents methods and system for conversion of heat to electrical power through absorption of heat from any types of fluids with temperatures both higher and lower than 0 C. Heat can be absorbed from fossil or renewable energy resources. The mechanism in this invention uses a fluid or fluids' enthalpy and internal energy difference to generate power, where a reciprocating piston-cylinder system provides the required force to rotate a turbine for power generation.

The modular complex for production of effective power through combustion of liquid and gaseous fuels comprises two modules: Module for production of heat in a single combustion chamber for burning various liquid and gaseous fuel types, connected to the inlet of gas turbocharger for production of energy carrier (compressed air) with flow rate and pressure required for production of planned power and frequency of rotation; Module for transformation of carrier energy into effective power with mechanical system of variable volumes and distribution system for charging and discharging of air, comprising distribution plate with straight shaft with slots to connect compressed air from cylinder filling channels through the motion of crankgear pistons from top to bottom dead center and the channels for discharging of cylinders through the motion of pistons from bottom to top dead center, whereas low pressure and temperature values eliminate the necessity for cooling system, fuel injection system, gas distribution system and starters. The final result represents increment of effective efficiency of modular complex to over 60 percent, elimination of complicated systems, reduction of fuel consumption, materials and labor costs as well as toxic oxides and noise levels.
