Abstract:
1. An acoustic reversible resonator adapted for energy transformation, comprising: a gas chamber defining a space; an oscillating gas volume gathered within said space, with the gas molecules given reciprocally oscillating movement within said space, which is sustained by an energy supplying device, wherein a gas compression given by the oscillating gas volume in said gas chamber makes for the creation of an elevated temperature within all or parts of said gas volume and where a gas decompression given by the oscillating gas volume in said gas chamber makes for the creation of a reduced temperature within all or parts of said gas volume; at least two first valves connected to said gas chamber, said first valves are arranged diametrically opposite one another in a first end region of said gas chamber and connected to a hot loop, carrying gas at high pressure and high temperature, the first valves being configured to supply or remove thermal energy to or from said oscillating gas volume within said gas chamber during a compression stage for said gas volume; and at least two second valves further connected to said gas chamber, and said second valves are arranged diametrically opposite one another in a second end region of said gas chamber and connected to a cold loop, carrying gas at low pressure and low temperature, the second valves being configured to supply or remove thermal energy to or from said oscillating gas volume within said gas chamber during a decompression stage for said gas volume, wherein said first and second valves are arranged at substantially right angles to one another, and wherein said first valves, in a compression stage, are adapted to supply energy from a heat source at a high temperature level, in order to emit energy at a low temperature level via said second valves, during a decompression stage, and/or wherein said second valves, for supply of energy, are adapted to supply a quantity of energy from a heat source at a given low temperature at a lowest pressure during a decompression stage and in a compression stage, to supply energy to a heat consumer via said first valves.
