Abstract
A thermal engine is described, which has two pairs of chambers, comprising a first and a second heat transmission chamber and a first and second working chamber which are connected alternately via a first and second cooling device and a first and second heat exchanger, so that a shared total interior is formed, in which a working medium is situated. Linearly movable first and second heat transmission pistons and first and second working pistons are mounted inside the chambers. The particular relative aligned arrangement of the chambers and the special development of the piston heads of the heat transmission pistons lead to an increased efficiency of the thermal engine being able to be achieved.
Claims10
A thermal engine with a driven flywheel or a crankshaft with a closed total interior, which is able to be closed in a pressure-tight manner, comprising:
- a first working chamber with a linearly movable first working piston having a first working piston head;
- a first heat transmission chamber with a linearly movable first heat transmission piston having a first heat transmission piston head, wherein the first working piston and the first heat transmission piston are coupled mechanically with each other;
- a first heat exchanger that connects the first working chamber with the first heat transmission chamber;
- a second working chamber with a linearly moveable second working piston having a second working piston head;
- a second heat transmission chamber with a linearly moveable second heat transmission piston having a second heat transmission piston head, whreein the second working piston and the second heat transmission piston are coupled mechanically with each other;
- a second heat exchanger that connects the second working chamber with the second heat transmission chamber,
- a first cooling device and a second cooling device, wherein the first cooling device is arranged between the second working chamber and the first heat transmission chamber and the second cooling device is arranged between the first working chamber and the second heat transmission chamber;
- a wobble plate that mechanically couples the first and second heat working pistons ant the first and second transmission pistons;
- wherein the first heat transmission piston head and the second heat transmission piston head are each embodied in a segmented and/or slotted manner, whereby the first heat transmission piston head and the second heat transmission piston head have an enlarged contact surface with respect to the first working piston head and the second working piston head, respectively, and whereby thermal energy is able to be emitted from the first heat transmission piston and the second heat transmission piston to a surrounding working medium.
