Thermoemission Converter of Heat to Electrical Energy

Introduction

There are divided in two blocks: generator and a thermoemission element. Thermoemission generator serves to obtain electric energy from the heat ptoduced by burning of any fuel. Generation is based on a thermoemission way of transforming thermal energy onto electricity, which has captured a leading position in a field of electric energy static power sources development. Generator consists of a number of specially situated vaccum thermoemission elements, connected into a common electric chain and placed in a case.

The case is equipped with a fire-chamber, residual heat consumption device and a device to remove products of burning. For the thermoemission elements all of the existing nowadays types can be used which do possess the oxide cathode and metal anode, placed in a flat casing. High effectiveness of transformation is obtained due to the completely new organisation of heat exchange between the flow of the heat bearer and thermoemission elements cascade. Heat bearer organising principle is know-how. Also a number of organizationally-technical measures is suggested, that permits to use the residual heat. These measures are know-how too. Using of the suggested pattern permits to receive the effciency level of transforming thermal energy into elec tricity equal up to 60% depending on the fuel burning temperature. Thermoemission generator is designed for use in small electric power stations, power plants, space energetic units, to equip steam-boilers and to be used in other technical areas where the small powerful current source.

Thermoemission element includes oxide cathode, metal anode and a heat screen design, situated in a flat casing. What is new - the way the above named parts are situated towards one another. Also the element includes a number of know-how, regarding the heat screen design and a mechanical transfer of electrons through the mid-electrons space, including thermal screen design form distance variation in placing the anode details optimal variants of transfer mechanism forming forms of the cathode surface. Well known and widely spread materils are used to produce cathode, anode, thermal screen and casing. The suggested thermoemission element construction does not change the mass-size characteristics, but leads to the sufficient increase in effieciency level up to 60% depending on the fuel burning temperature. Calculated efficiency is equal to 80% if the heat resistant materials will be used

• High effieciency level of both the generator and the thermoemission element
• All-fuel consumption abilities
• Noiseless operation
• Explotiation characteristics increase for the existing power plants.
• More nature-friendly due to the exhaust decrease per energy unit produced Fuel economy
• Mass-size characteristics-Generator: 4x2x2 meters, mass-4000 kg, capacity-1000 kW

Thermoemission element: 0.02x0.15x0.1 meters, mass-0.6 kg, capacity-150 wt
