Abstract:
1. A system for receiving input heat from a heat source and for providing a liquid state and a first vapor state at a first vapor pressure and a second vapor state at a second vapor pressure of a two-phase working fluid, the system comprising, a capillary device for receiving the input heat from the heat source and phase changing and separating the working fluid from the liquid state to the first vapor state at a first vapor pressure, a turbine for converting energy while passing the working fluid from the first vapor state at the first vapor pressure to the second vapor state at the second vapor pressure, a condenser for phase changing the working fluid in the second vapor state at the second vapor pressure into the liquid state while rejecting waste heat, and tubing for inline interconnecting the capillary device and the turbine and the condenser.
