Abstract: The method for converting and storing thermal energies using two circuits, comprises absorbing energy from an energy deprivation- and supplying system (E 3>S) in a first circuit (102) over an energy carrier, where the system contains a transducer (301), in which the energy carrier begins a phase change by transferring from a liquid state to an aerosol using gas portion as medium, where only marginal energy is absorbed by the medium within the transducer during the conversion process, and supplying the medium in a further part of E 3>S and passing the medium in a transport line. The method for converting and storing thermal energies using two circuits, comprises absorbing energy from an energy deprivation- and supplying system (E 3>S) in a first circuit (102) over an energy carrier, where the system contains a transducer (301), in which the energy carrier begins a phase change by transferring from a liquid state to an aerosol using gas portion as medium, where only marginal energy is absorbed by the medium within the transducer during the conversion process, and supplying the medium in a further part of E 3>S and passing the medium in a transport line, where the transport line that enters into the part of E 3>S at one end is inserted within the E 3>S either in straight or curved shape, and re-enters either at the same end or at the opposite end, conducting the medium as an energetic gas directly or indirectly to a compression process, where the compressed gas at a higher temperature, which can go into areas of at least 20[deg] C to above 200[deg] C, is directly or indirectly used for the provision of energy in the form of heat, where a phase change of the energy carrier takes place by the deprivation of energy, e.g. in heat exchangers, the liquid medium is directly or indirectly fed to the transducer, where in addition to the previously described circuit, which is present in the entire system with another separate circuit in which a different medium having liquid or gaseous, is added, the second circuit is conducted through a transport line through a portion of E 3>S, in further course of the output of the E 3>S, the energy contained in the medium is provided either directly or indirectly over heat exchangers or reservoir in the form of cold for storage, the medium with the increased temperature is fed directly or indirectly to the E 3>S and a conveyor (200) is included in the second circuit, and one or more other energy sources are bonded in the circuit directly or indirectly connected in series for an additional energy input. The energy carrier is a heat transfer medium. The media present in the second circuit is water, water-glycol mixture, water-ethanol mixture, pure glycol and ethanol, oils or other liquids recoverable imaginable, and all kinds of gaseous media. The energy source consists of geothermal energy, solar thermal or aquathermal energy. The external converter comprises components that are configured to bring the fluid to low temperature level and to minimize the temperature level of other media. Energy is introduced in the transducer to initiate the phase change. An independent claim is included for a device for converting and storing thermal energies.
