Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008098968A1] The invention relates to a process of transferring heat from a first relatively cold medium (23) to a second relatively hot medium (22), comprising the steps of rotating a contained amount (6) of a compressible fluid about an axis of rotation, thus generating a radial temperature gradient in the fluid, and heating the second medium (22) by means of the fluid in a section of the fluid relatively far from the axis of rotation. The invention also pertains to an apparatus for carrying said process.
