DIFFERENTIAL THERMODYNAMIC MACHINE WITH A CYCLE OF EIGHT THERMODYNAMIC TRANSFORMATIONS AND CONTROL METHOD

摘要

The present invention pertains to the technical field of thermodynamic engines, and relates more specifically to thermodynamic machines that operate with gas in a closed cycle with a. differential configuration characterised in that a thermodynamic cycle with eight transformations is carried but, or in other words, the machine carries out two thermodynamic cycles simultaneously, each with four independent and complementary transformations, including two "isothermal" transformations and two "adiabatic" transformations, mass being transferred in the adiabatic transformation phases such as to provide a new throughput curve which is no longer dependent exclusively on temperature, but rather on the mass transfer rate, allowing machines with high throughput and low thermal differential to be obtained.
