Abstract (en)
[origin: ES8605328A1] The thermo-dynamic process approximates to the Carnot cycle, for converting heat into work. The process operates between a heat source and a heat sink which are at a sufficiently wide temp. difference. A group of substances are used as the working fluid and possess sufficient thermal stability within the temp. range of the process and with a freezing point below the energy sink temp. - When in the liquid phase, the substances may or may not be mixable and each substance has a different vapour pressure at the working temp. The saturation pressure of the least volatile substance, at the temp. of the energy source, when at its minimum, is higher than the saturation pressure of the volatile components at the temp. of the energy sink.
