ABSTRACT:
Process and machine are disclosed for converting the internal energy of a fluid into mechanical energy capable of producing work, based on the use of the fluid having two alternative states, liquid and gaseous, at temperatures below and above, respectively, its critical temperature. In a first step the fluid is liquefied at a temperature and a pressure below the critical temperature and pressure thereof and is introduced into a chamber provided with means for transmitting movement and means for transmitting heat. In a second step the liquefied fluid is subjected to a rapid heating, whereby the critical temperature is exceeded, the pressure is considerably increased, and the fluid is converted to the gaseous state. In a third step the fluid is expanded in the interior of the chamber in spite of the resistance offered by the means for transmitting movement. In a fourth step there are provided means whereby the fluid recovers and returns to the initial conditions of the first step.
