Abstract:
1. A converter for converting heat energy from exhaust combustion gases generated by a combustion engine, comprising: a heating chamber configured to be in thermal contact with and surrounding a discharge conduit of the combustion engine through which the exhaust combustion gases are discharged, the heating chamber including two end portions and defining a hydraulic channel through which a fluid passes; an inlet port disposed in a first end portion of the heating chamber for receiving the fluid into the heating chamber; an outlet port disposed in a second end portion of the heating chamber for discharging the fluid from the heating chamber; and an insulation chamber substantially surrounding the heating chamber, the insulation chamber comprising an access valve configured to fill, empty, or vent the insulation chamber, wherein the hydraulic channel is configured so that heat energy from the exhaust combustion gases is transferred to the fluid while the fluid passes through the hydraulic channel.
