Heat Exchanger (HEX):
Heat Exchange
1. When this heat exchanger is connected to an heat storage, it collects heat from the Heat Storage (HS) and transfers it to the heat conducting liquid inside the liquid chamber of the Burner or Heat Intake, so that it will vaporize and that vapor used to drive a Turbine.
2. Water from the outside world can also be passed through it in order to cool the content of the liquid chamber whenever necessary
3. The operating temperature of the system is not expected to go very much above 240°C, therefore the heat exchanger tube(s) can carry a liquid that may well be Glycerol, Palm oil or Thermal Oil.
4. Mixing in a little Graphite Powder will increase the heat conductivity of the given liquids.
5. Working with Graphite Safely and other powders require special care.
6. For App. Diagram 3, the temperature of the liquid inside the heat exchanger tube(s) will be at least a few (°C) above that of the liquid inside the liquid chamber, so that an heat transfer into the chamber will take place, otherwise the connection to the heat storage through B-V1, IS-V1 and HTP4 will be turned off.
