Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates generally to the technical field of power machinery, and more specifically to the design of an overflow-dissolution cycle heat engine. Background Technology

[0002] The most commonly used device for converting thermal energy into mechanical energy in any form is the steam turbine. However, steam turbines have certain drawbacks. For example, steam turbines require a high temperature heat source; if energy exchange is performed via heat conduction, the heat source temperature must be higher than the boiling point of the medium. Also, the blades of high-performance steam turbines must withstand high temperatures and pressures, resulting in high manufacturing costs and technical difficulties. Furthermore, the medium remains gaseous after performing all its work, wasting the heat of vaporization. Finally, the direct discharge of the gaseous medium significantly increases its consumption.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection via a conduit; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] Various exemplary embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, an overflow dissolution cycle heat engine includes a heat exchange chamber 1, a turbine fan 2 connected to the heat exchange chamber 1, and a dissolution chamber 3. The turbine fan 2 and the dissolution chamber 3 are also connected. The engine includes a gaseous medium and a liquid medium. At the operating temperature, the gaseous medium has a certain solubility in the liquid medium.

[0019] The mixed medium is heated in the heat exchange chamber, and its temperature rises. The gaseous medium overflows and enters the turbine fan, doing work on the turbine fan and causing it to rotate. Then it enters the dissolution chamber. The liquid medium enters the dissolution chamber from the heat exchange chamber. In the dissolution chamber, the gaseous medium dissolves in the liquid medium, becoming a mixed medium. The mixed medium enters the heat exchange chamber from the dissolution chamber, completing one cycle.
