A system for capturing and collecting energy from an energy supply location and delivering the captured energy to an energy delivery location, the system comprising:
- a heat energy capture closed-loop module in communication with a source of heat energy, said heat energy capture closed-loop module comprising a first closed-loop piping infrastructure wherein is circulating a first low-temperature-boiling-point working fluid having a liquid phase and a vapor phase, said first closed-loop module configured to capture the heat energy from the source of heat energy and to transfer the captured heat energy to the first low-temperature-boiling-point working fluid thereby converting the first working fluid into its vapor phase, said first closed-loop module provided with an apparatus configured for generating electrical power by converting a portion of the vaporized working fluid into its liquid phase;
- and
- a long-distance umbilical cord apparatus configured for interconnecting the heat energy capture closed-loop module with the energy delivery location, said umbilical cord apparatus comprising:
- a first end that is demountably and sealably engageable with the heat energy capture closed-loop module;
- a second end that is demountably and sealably engageable with the energy delivery location;
- a first pipe configured for demountable and sealable engagement with the energy supply location and for receiving therefrom a first flow of a second low-temperature-boiling-point working fluid selected from ammonia, CO2, ethane, propane, propene, propylene, chlorodifluoromethane R-22, dichlorodifluoromethane R-12, and difluoromethane R-32, and for demountable and sealable engagement with the energy delivery location and for delivery of the first flow thereto, said first pipe provided with a first protective covering therealong;
- a second pipe configured for demountable and sealable engagement with the energy delivery location and for receiving therefrom a second flow of the second low-temperature-boiling-point working fluid selected from ammonia, CO2, ethane, propane, propene, propylene, chlorodifluoromethane R-22, dichlorodifluoromethane R-12, and difluoromethane R-32, and for demountable and sealable engagement with the energy supply location and for delivery of the second flow thereto, said second pipe provided with a second protective covering therealong;
- a power transmission trunk cable configured for demountable engagement with heat energy capture closed-loop module and the energy delivery location;
- and
- a control systems cable configured for demountable engagement with the heat energy capture closed-loop module and the energy delivery location;
- wherein the first pipe, the second pipe, the power transmission trunk cable, and the control systems cable are bundled together and are provided with a third protective covering therealong from the first end to the second end.
