- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a thermal
- FIG. 3 is a graphic representation of the expansion or
- Figure 5 is a representation corresponding to Figure 2, but according to another embodiment of a thermal device according to the present invention.
- the thermal device 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 which serves to generate mechanical and / or electrical energy by utilizing or applying a relatively low temperature gradient in the low-temperature region, has a pressure vessel 11, a reservoir 15 and a generator unit 20 , by means of which mechanical and / or electrical energy is generated.
- the pressure vessel 11 is with an expansive and
- expansion medium 12 contractive medium, hereinafter referred to as expansion medium 12, and filled with a working medium 13.
- Both the expansion medium 12 and the working medium 13 are liquid in the embodiment, wherein the expansion medium 12 in complete contraction in a solid phase
- the water is in the pressure vessel 11 above the expansion medium 12 to prevent mixing of the two media 12 and 13.
- Expansion medium is a medium used, which reaches its greatest expansion or contraction in the phase transformation or in the phase transition from solid to liquid and vice versa. While Figure 1 the output state, that is the

- Expansion medium 12 at bspw. a temperature of + 5 ° C in an initial state in which the expansion medium 12 has its smallest volume, possibly in a solid state.
- a temperature of, for example, + 7 ° C can be selected, in which the
- expansion medium 12 may be low, it does not
- Working medium 13 is greater than the volume difference
- Pressure vessel 11 takes place. At a certain selected pressure within the pressure vessel 11 opens the first
- FIG. 2 This is shown in FIG. 2 in a final state in which, for example, at 15 ° C., the maximum expansion of the
- Expansion medium 12 is reached.
- the working fluid 13, which drives the turbine wheel 23, collects in the housing 25 of the turbine 22 and flows through the second connecting line 17 into the reservoir 15, the water level thereby increases because the second check valve 18 is closed due to the pressure within the pressure vessel 11 ,
- hermetically sealed pressure vessel 11 leads. At a certain selected negative pressure within the pressure vessel 11 opens the second check valve 18 (and the first
- the pressureless pressure vessel 11 is filled with the working fluid water accordingly, so that after cooling from + 15 ° C to, for example, + 7 ° C of the expansion medium 12, the initial state of FIG.
- the temperature gradient which is in the range of
- two or more pressure vessels 11 may be provided including their connecting lines 21 to the generator unit 20, so that a continuous driving of the generator unit 20 is possible due to the time-shifted operation of the expansion medium 12 in each of the pressure vessels 11 is.
- the heating or cooling of the expansion medium 12 to the upper and lower temperature value can either by
- Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the working medium 13 has a higher density than the expansion medium 12, which means that the stratification of the two media 12 and 13 is such that the working fluid 13 in the bottom of the pressure vessel 11 'and the Expansion medium 12 is arranged above it.
- This also means that both the connecting line 21 to the generator unit 20 and the first connecting line 16 from the reservoir 15 'in the pressure vessel 11' through the expansion medium 12 into the lower and
- the volume of the working medium 13 is greater than the volume difference between the volume of the expansion medium 12 in the initial state and the volume in the fully expanded state.
- FIG. 4 also shows an embodiment of FIG
- Pressure vessel 11 'and / or reservoir 15' which can be selected both in the embodiment of Figure 4 and in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.
- the reservoir 15 ' which is provided in both embodiments with a vent opening 19 or 19' to hold the reservoir pressure-free, equipped with heat transfer elements, that is, cooling coils 28, the active lowering or holding the
- Reservoir 15 'metal mesh 29 may be preferably made of copper.
- a heat-conducting metal fabric 31 made of preferably copper is arranged in the pressure vessel 11 within a region of the expansion medium 12 facing away from the working medium 13.
- Immersion medium 12 immersed preferably as deep as the expansion medium 12 reaches in the initial state.
- the pressure jacket 34 of the pressure vessel 11 is surrounded by a thermal insulation 35 and this in turn by a hermetically sealed outer shell 36.
- Producer unit 20 a corresponding plurality of such pressure vessel 11 'and possibly also reservoir 15'
- expansion medium 12 in a manner not shown between expansion medium 12 and
- Figure 5 shows a third embodiment of a
- Thermal device 10 "of the present invention in which the expansion medium 12 ⁇ simultaneously acts as a working medium, which means that within the thermal
- FIG. 5 shows, according to the representation of Figure 2, the expansion state of the expansion medium 12 ⁇ and thus the working state.
- Expansion fluid 12 ⁇ is liquid
- the check valve 26 opens in the connecting pressure line 21 and the nozzle 24 to the impeller 23 of the turbine 22 of the generator unit 20th flows and drives them rotating.
- Expansion medium 12 x is returned by the generator unit 20 in the reservoir 15 'and there first
