ABSTRACT:
A method of converting thermal energy into another energy form, comprising the steps of providing a liquid working fluid with said thermal energy, substantially adiabatically compressing the working fluid, substantially adiabatically expanding the hot compressed working fluid by flashing to yield said other energy form in an expansion machine capable of operating with wet working fluid and of progressively drying said fluid during expansion, and condensing the exhaust working fluid from the expansion machine. Apparatus for converting thermal energy into another energy form is also provided.
