Patent ID: 8683802

Claim:
Installation designed to convert thermal energy available in a given work environment into useful energy wherein it comprises: A hermetically sealed outer shell (OS) provided with a two-way valve housing an inner closed cylindrical rotor (IR) separated from the outer shell (OS) by a vacuum cavity and supported by the outer shell in two support surfaces, the inner rotor (IR) is made of three hollow cylindrical parts made by a thermally conductive material, one inside the other fixed to each other around their common rotation axis, the first part is an outer hollow cylinder closed by two end base walls housing the second part which is a smaller middle cylinder and the third part which is an inner cylinder formed inside the middle cylinder around the common rotation axis, in that the inner cylinder is open at its axial ends and provided with two controlled seals allowing to close or open a first cavity formed inside the inner cylinder, in that the middle cylinder is closed by two end base walls around the inner cylinder forming a second cavity, in that the inner cylinder, one of the end base walls of the middle cylinder and the opposed one of the outer hollow cylinder are provided with an thermally insulating layer, in that the periphery of the end of the middle cylinder provided with the thermally insulating layer is provided with a controlled array of valves or a controlled skirt seal allowing to hermetically separate in two parts a third cavity formed between the base walls of the middle and outer hollow cylinders and open or close a passage between the said two parts of the third cavity, in that the outer hollow cylinder is provided with a one-way valve and a two-way valve, in that an array of propellers is provided inside the inner cylinder equipped with shafts connected to energy conversion means enabled to convert, the rotational energy of the propellers into useful energy, in that a motor is located inside the outer shell (OS) driving in rotation the inner rotor (IR), in that power and data transmission means are provided to control the motor, the propellers, the seals, to transmit outside the installation the converted rotational energy of the propellers to monitor temperature and pressure inside the inner rotor (IR) and in that a pressurized fluid is located inside the inner rotor (IR).
