METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING THERMAL ENERGY INTO MECHANICAL ENERGY, IN PARTICULAR FOR CONVERTING THE THERMAL ENERGY OF THE SEAS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a system for converting thermal energy (SF, SC) into mechanical energy by means of a thermodynamic cycle. For this, the invention uses a thermodynamic cycle for which a working fluid composed of two miscible fluids and having different vaporization temperatures circulates in a closed circuit. In this circuit, all the steam flows successively in two turbines (3, 5), the steam being heated in a heat exchanger (17) before passing into the second turbine (5).
