Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Thermal Rotor
[0001] The present invention relates to a fluid compression device enabling the production of heat or cold, of the heat pump type, in a simple manner for low powers.
[0002] Existing heat pumps use refrigerants with a high ecological footprint.
[0003] The Thermal Rotor is made of a single piece producing heat on one side and cold on the other.
[0004] The Rotor uses water vapor in the saturated vapor phase at room temperature. Rotation causes an overpressure inside one of the faces and a depression on the other side. Compression = condensation, depression = evaporation of the water vapor.
[0005] The rotor can be used for other applications in fluid mechanics. For setting fluids in motion without direct influences, only by the rotation of the assembly. It can be used for other fluids
[0006] The rotor is composed of a calender, a flat cylinder closed on its faces, inside a disc pierced in its center is integral with the calender. The disc is ribbed on one side (turbine) and on the other smooth or comprising concentric ellipses or spirals. The turbine induces a centrifugal movement of the fluid from the inside towards the periphery. The spiral face induces a whirlwind or vortex from the periphery towards the center. The movement of the fluid is completed by the rotation of the assembly ([Fig.l])
Claims
[Claim 1] Claims : Thermal rotor characterized in that it comprises a calender, a flat cylinder closed on its faces, inside a disc pierced in its center is integral with the calender. The disc is ribbed on one side (turbine) and on the other smooth or comprising concentric ellipses or spirals.
