20150096298 | PRESSURE POWER SYSTEM - The invention relates to energy conversion and generation systems, and more specifically, to a system and method of generating and converting energy by way of a pressure differential in a working fluid. A Pressure Power System is described comprising a cold sub-system, a warm sub-system, a work extraction system, and a hydraulic pump arranged in a closed loop. The cold sub-system and the warm sub-system are respectively maintained at lower and higher temperatures relative to one another, so that a Working Fluid circulated through the closed loop by the pump, will have different equilibrium vapor pressures in the two sub-systems. The different respective state functions of the Working Fluid results in two different levels of elastic potential energy, and subsequently, a pressure differential between the two sub-systems. A work extraction system is positioned between the two sub-systems to convert the elastic potential energy/pressure differential into useful kinetic energy. | 04-09-2015 |
20150135714 | PRESSURE POWER UNIT - The invention relates to energy conversion and generation systems, and more specifically, to a unit for generating and converting energy by way of a pressure differential in a Working Fluid. A Pressure Power Unit is described which comprises a condenser and a vaporizer arranged in a closed loop, the condenser and vaporizer being respectively maintained at lower and higher temperatures relative to one another. A Working Fluid is circulated through the closed loop, the Working Fluid having different equilibrium vapor pressures in the condenser and in the vaporizer, according to the respective state functions, representing two different levels of elastic potential energy. This results in a pressure differential between the condenser and the vaporizer. A work extraction system is positioned between the outlet of the vaporizer and the inlet of the condenser, to convert the elastic potential energy/pressure differential into kinetic energy. Other embodiments of the invention are also described. | 05-21-2015 |
