Abstract (en)

[origin: DE102004006837A1] Process for recovering an electrical current from air comprises transforming the energy content of the air with a dissolved steam content to a sufficiently high temperature level using one or more heat pump systems. Preferred Features: The energy content of the air with a dissolved steam content is recovered when the air is cooled, preferably by condensation. The energy is transformed to a temperature level of 50-100[deg] C, preferably 60-90[deg] C. The heat pump systems are operated using an organic or inorganic solvent as working agent.
