Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8304281A1] A thermal engine is capable of producing mechanical power by absorbing high temperature heat and releasing low temperature heat. To this aim, a pressure cylinder (1) is divided by a displacement piston (2) into two working chambers (7, 8) which are connected together by a thermal collector (9), the cylinder and the collector being filled with high pressure gas or steam. One of the working chambers (8) is heated at a high temperature by the supply of heat, the other chamber having a low temperature due to a refrigeration effect. At least one of the working chambers (7) is connected by two non-return valves (12, 13), acting in opposite directions, with two pressure tanks (14, 15), and the two tanks under different pressures are connected by an expansion machine (16).
