ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an energy converter for transferring thermal energy from a low heat source to a high heat source using a mixed medium for the purposes of increasing thermal energy transfer efficiency. The present invention improves performance of an evaporator and a condenser, reduces production cost of the device, improves performance over a wide range even with partial loads, and provides a highly efficient and polyfunctional energy converter having function as a refrigerator and a heat pump with one cycle, and function as a generator. The present invention relates to an energy converter including an evaporator for heat-exchanging a low heat source for a working fluid, a compressor connected to a fluid discharge side of the evaporator for compressing a discharge fluid, a condenser connected to a discharge side of the compressor for thermally exchanging the working fluid discharged from the compressor with a high heat source, a vapor-liquid separator connected to a discharge side of the condenser, a swelling device connected to a vapor discharge side of the vapor-liquid separator for swelling a discharged vapor, a reducing valve connected to a liquid discharge side of the vapor-liquid separator for reducing a liquid, a mixer for mixing a swollen vapor from the swelling device with a reduced liquid from the reducing valve, and a heat exchange cycle formed by connected piping for evaporating a discharge fluid of the mixer or the absorber with the evaporator.
