HEAT ENGINE |
APPLICATIONS |
PROTOTYPE |
One can describe this energy converter, or heat engine, as a heat exchanger which transforms part of the heat to pressure pulses of a desired frequency. This pulse rate, in turn, may drive pistons, diaphragms, or anything that can utilize pressure pulses. |
This new green energy converter will have many applications, but the first market
is perhaps everywhere where there is surplus heating, cooling towers or heat
exchangers to dissipate heat. |
The existing LabModel v2.0 is a flat box with external dimensions L60 x W60 x H7 cm incl. the Revolving Dynamic Link software for logging and control. It weighs about 20 kg, has 0,8 liters of air as revolving Work Generating Volume and a surface area for heat transfer to and from the working volume of approximately half a square meter.

The energy converter is patent pending in Sweden and also an international PCT application is filed. We are looking for an industrial partner to the project. Why not use a Stirling engine instead? In a conventional Stirling engine the inner surface of a cylinder is for heat transport. The surface of a cylinder grows in square, but the cylinder working volume grows in cube. That's really bad if you need more power. That makes it expensive to scale, i.e. increasing area and volume. If you need a more powerful engine you will have to increase the temperature difference or adding more cylinders. It becomes expensive. Unlike the Stirling engine, this new energy converter / heat engine has an optimal equation for heat transfer between the surface and the working volume. It can be scaled up and become very powerful. Almost the bigger the better ... |
