DEVICE FOR SAFE IMPLEMENTATION OF A LEFT-SWITCHING THERMODYNAMIC CLAUSIUS RANKINE PROCESS BASED ON WORK FLUID ADSORPTION WITH INERTGAS DISPLACEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a device for safely performing a left-handed thermodynamic Clausius-Rankine cycle process by means of an inflammable working fluid which is heavier than air in the gaseous state under atmospheric conditions and is guided in a closed, hermetically sealed working fluid circulation, comprising at least one compressor for working fluid, at least an expansion device for working fluid, at least two heat exchangers for working fluid, each having at least two connections for heat transfer fluids, a closed housing, which comprises all devices connected to the closed working fluid circuit, may comprise further devices, and is lined with an adsorbent, which is capable of working fluid adsorbing, an adsorbent is used, which can adsorb the working fluid and an inert gas, wherein the working fluid has a higher adsorptive binding to the adsorbent as the inert gas, and wherein the adsorbent, with which the housing is lined, is pre-loaded saturated with the inert gas.
