A NEW DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING ENERGY BETWEEN PRIMARY WORKING FLUID AND SECONDARY WORKING FLUID BY PREVENTING MIXING AND DIRECT CONTACT OF FLUIDS

摘要

A device for transferring energy between primary working fluid and secondary working fluid by preventing mixing and direct contact of fluids by transferring the energy from high pressure small quantity secondary fluid to other large quantity primary fluid to raise its pressure or transfer energy from low pressure large quantity fluid (primary) to other low quantity fluid(secondary) to raise pressure. Fluid energy transformer consist of three cylinders 40a,40b,44, two four way valves 15,16, two pairs of bellows 88a,88b, bellows from a pair are connected to form end to end configuration of bellows by interposing disc 63a,63b between their ends. Said circular disc from each pair is connected by link rods 25,26,18,19 such that equal axial expansion or contraction is produced in bellows. Working fluid entering in one of the bellows in pair produces axial expansion in that bellows causing axial contraction of other bellows in the same pair results in increase in pressure of working fluid stored in it. During this process a reciprocating means of discs along with link rods follows reciprocating motion automatically and continuously, as dogs 28,27,30,29 on the link roads are mechanically/ electrically/ pneumatically/hydraulically linked to operator /operators of four way valves 15,16, causes change in direction of motion of reciprocating assembly due to path reversal of respective incoming and outgoing fluid flows from corresponding bellows.
