Method for converting energy with fuel regeneration in a cyclic process of a heat engine

A method for conversion with recovery of energy carriers in a cyclical process of a thermal engine in accordance with the following:

• hydrocarbon fuel and oxygen are supplied to a gas generator (1), and the fuel is gasified or, under autothermal or thermal conditions, converted so that a hydrogen/carbon oxide mixture is created;
• the hydrogen/carbon oxide mixture produced is fed into a turbine (4) for converting kinetic and thermal energy into mechanical energy, and the hydrogen/carbon oxide mixture is supplied to a hydrogenation reactor (5), in which hydrocarbons and heat-generated water are formed in a catalytic process;
• the hydrocarbons and heat-generated water are then fed into the gas generator (1) for conversion, so that a first recirculation cycle is created;
• and
• the heat-generated water is evaporated in steam boilers (2 and 6), and steam is then fed into a turbine (7), for converting the steam energy into mechanical energy
• wherein the steam boilers (2, 6) are located in the gas generator (1) and in the hydrogenation reactor (5), so that, by heating water in the gas generator (1) and in the hydrogenation reactor (5), an isothermal course of the gasification and hydrogenation processes is maintained in the gas generator (1) and in the hydrogenation reactor (5);
• wherein the steam is carried onward from the turbine (7) for converting steam energy into mechanical energy into a condenser (8);
• and condensate from the turbine flows back into the steam boilers (2, 6), so that a second recirculation cycle is thus created;
• wherein the condensate is distributed proportionately between the steam boilers (2, 6);
• wherein the hydrogen/carbon oxide mixture is formed in the gas generator (1) under autothermal or thermal conditions occurs during the gasification or transformation of the hydrocarbon fuels, and the hydrocarbon/heat-generated water mixture forms simultaneously by the catalytic process in the hydrogenation reactor (5);
• wherein pure oxygen from an oxygen station or atmospheric oxygen from an air bubble is supplied to the gas generator (1) of the engine;
• wherein air flowing into air intake is cooled down or heated beforehand in a heat exchanger cascade, depending on climate conditions, to the dew point and then is cooled to a temperature of 0° to −3° C. in an expansion turbine until a maximum residual water content in the air of 0.2 g/m3 is attained;
• wherein the condensate formed is collected and used for feeding the steam boilers (2, 6);
• and
• wherein when oxygen is derived from the atmosphere, the atmospheric oxygen is transported into the oxygen station or directly into the gas generator (1).
