Thermal engine for converting thermal energy into mechanical energy, e.g. topping turbine, has rotor essentially fully enclosing stator and essentially fully including steam generator and condenser

摘要

The device has at least one steam generating arrangement (11a) for at least partly evaporating a first liquid working medium (21) using thermal input energy, at least one rotor (11) rotated relative to a stator (3) by the evaporated medium and at least one condenser (11c) for condensing the medium after driving the rotor. The rotor essentially fully encloses the stator and essentially full includes the steam generator and condenser.
