Abstract
A thermoacoustic device that includes a resonator, wherein the resonator includes a stack. During operation, a cold zone of the stack is configured to receive at least one fluid from a hot zone of the stack; wherein a temperature of the hot zone exceeds a temperature of the cold zone. The thermoacoustic device also includes a conveyor for conveying at least some of the at least one fluid from the cold zone of the stack to the hot zone of the stack.
Claims35
A thermoacoustic device comprising:
- a resonator;
- wherein the resonator comprises a stack;
- wherein during operation, a cold zone of the stack is configured to receive at least one fluid from a hot zone of the stack;
- wherein a temperature of the hot zone exceeds a temperature of the cold zone;
- and
- a conveyor for conveying at least some of the at least one fluid from the cold zone of the stack to the hot zone of the stack.
A method of operating a thermoacoustic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a cold zone of a stack of a resonator of a thermoacoustic device, at least one fluid from a hot zone of the stack;
- wherein a temperature of the hot zone exceeds a temperature of the cold zone;
- and
- conveying, by a conveyor of the stack, at least some of the at least one fluid from the cold zone of the stack to the hot zone of the stack.
