ABSTRACT:
A steam engine of a simple constitution capable of efficiently obtaining mechanical energy not only from a heat source of a high temperature but also from various heat sources in a low-temperature state such as the exhaust heat of an internal combustion engine. The engine comprises a displacement engine1having a rotor13that rotates, a steam-generating portion2arranged thereunder and a condenser3arranged thereover. Water heated in the steam-generating portion2becomes the steam which is fed into the displacement engine1, enters into an operation chamber that moves up, rotates the rotor13and is, thereafter, fed into the condenser3where it is condensed to turn into the condensate. The condensate falls on the rotor13on the lower side due to gravity, and is refluxed into the steam-generating portion2through the operation chamber that moves downward with rotation of the rotor13. The steam engine efficiently operates even at low speeds, requires no pump for refluxing the condensate, and is constituted in a compact size.
