ABSTRACT:
A system which stores and uses thermal and chemical energy to provide shaft power during either the charging or discharging cycles. The system is based upon a reversible transfer of gaseous fluid from a holding tank to a receiver. In operation, the fluid generates electricity or other mechanical power by doing work on a turbine or other device positioned between the tank and receiver. The fluid is heated by an external source and is particularly adapted for use with solar energy. The working fluid and an absorbent combine to form the chemical solution. In the charge cycle, heat is applied to the holding tank which distills the fluid. The fluid condenses in the condenser and is held in the receiver. In the discharge cycle, heat is transferred from the still warm holding tank to the receiver by means of piping. The fluid vaporizes and returns to the holding tank. The fluid dilutes the concentrated solution, thereby releasing more heat which in turn is transferred back to the receiver to continue the vaporization of the fluid. The charge cycle is then repeated when solar energy heats the holding tank and distills the working fluid from the diluted solution until most of the fluid is driven from the solution.
