Abstract:
1. A generator, comprising: a heat differential module comprising: a pressure module comprising a pressure medium which is in selective fluid communication with the first, high temperature reservoir and the second, low temperature reservoir of the heat differential module for alternately performing a heat exchange process with the high/low temperature work medium of the reservoirs, to fluctuate between a minimal operative temperature and a maximal operative temperature of the pressure medium corresponding to the high and low temperature of the reservoirs; a conversion module being in mechanical communication with the pressure medium and configured for utilizing temperature changes of the pressure medium for the production of output energy; and a heat recovery arrangement being the thermal communication with the heat differential module and configured for absorbing heat from the pressure medium and providing heat to the heat differential module or to the pressure module, wherein the heat recovery arrangement includes at least one temperature gradient tank being in fluid communication with an outlet end of the pressure module and being configured for maintaining a temperature difference between at least two work medium quantities simultaneously contained therein.
