ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for a thermodynamic machine for the generation of power or for the transport of heat, where a compressible working fluid is compressed and expanded in a cycle using a vane type apparatus. Heat is added and removed from the working fluid by using another fluid within the vane unit housing together with the working fluid. The second fluid is also circulated through external heat exchange means for changing the temperature of the fluid. The working fluid may be a suitable gas, such as a halogenated hydrocarbon or carbon dioxide, and the second fluid may be a liquid such as a light oil which also can provide lubrication within the housing. The working fluid ordinarily remains within the vane type unit housing, while the second fluid is circulated through the outside heat exchanger means.
