GENERATING METHOD UTILIZING SOLAR HEAT AND POTENTIAL ENERGY

摘要

PURPOSE:To perform the power generation with high power recovery efficiency, by evaporating an operating medium through solar heat then inflating at high position and after cooling and liquidizing leading it to low position where the closed cycle of the solar heat evaporation is formed again to produce power through the work of the operating medium during the expansion. CONSTITUTION:A generator 1, expansion turbine 2 and a cooler 3 are located at the high position such as the mountain top, while a heater 4 for evaporating the liquid operating medium through the solar heat is located on a hill, then each machine is interconnected through pipings 5 to form the closed cycle. Water, propane, fron, ammonia, etc. is preferable for the operating medium to be employed in said cycle. The operating medium will absorb the solar heat at the heater 4 to produce gas which climb on the mountain to reach to the expansion turbine 2 where it will expand to produce the work thus to rotate a generator 1. Thereafter it is led to the cooler 3 where it is liquidized and returns through a liquid storage device 6 to the heater 4.
