Abstract:
1. A thermodynamic power conversion device comprising: at least one first configuration designed to operate when an ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is greater than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature and at least one first configuration designed to operate when an ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is less than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature, where both configurations comprise: wherein when the ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is greater than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature the at least one working fluid of the thermodynamic power conversion device flows in a direction from the at least one reversible pump to the at least one external atmospheric interface or at least one liquid-based heat exchanger to the at least one expansion device to the at least one geothermal condenser and then back to the at least one reversible pump, and wherein when the ambient, or atmospheric, temperature is less than the ground source, or geothermal water, temperature the at least one working fluid of the thermodynamic power conversion device flows in a direction from the at least one reversible pump to the at least one geothermal condenser to the at least one expansion device to the at least one external atmospheric interface or at least one liquid-based heat exchanger and then back to the at least one reversible pump.
