Abstract

1,100,983. E.H.D. generators. A.M. MARKS. 7 Nov., 1966, No. 49798/66. Heading H2A. In an E.H.D. generator employing a charged aerosol as working medium, an efficiency approaching that of the ideal Carnot cycle is achieved by employing a large ratio of liquid mass to gas mass in the isothermal phases and a small ratio of liquid mass to gas mass during the adiabatic phases of the cycle. Heat may be injected isothermally into the working medium simultaneously with the extraction of electric power. The liquid component of the aerosol is used for heat-transfer. When the liquid component is large, most of the heat resides in the liquid which can thus maintain the carrier gas at uniform temperature, producing isothermal working. Similarly, when the liquid content is low, adiabatic working is achieved. Liquid may be sprayed in to increase its proportion and subsequently removed by standing or by centrifuging in the discharging region. The ratio of liquid mass to gas mass varies from 10 to 0À01. The aerosol is simultaneously charged and formed by forcing liquid 21 out of a capillary tube 20 whose tip is charged or is adjacent a charging ring 25 whose field assists in accelerating the droplets to the velocity of the carrier gas stream 22. The kinetic energy of the droplets and gas is turned into electrical energy in the conversion space 30, this energy being withdrawn in the collector 31 and fed out at lead 32 to load 33. It is described (Fig. 3, not shown), how a battery of capillaries associated with charging screens may be used. A single loop circuit for recirculating both gas and liquid in the necessary temperature cycle, is described (Fig. 2, not shown). A multistage system in which the heat rejected from one cycle is used in a following cycle of lower temperature, is also described (Fig. 3, not shown). The use of a heat-exchanger is avoided by transferring the liquid directly from one cycle to the next. Suitable working substances are water-steam or air; and galliumnitrogen.
