HEAT SOURCE TEMPERATURE REGULATION AND WORKING MEDIUM DETECTION FOR CLOSED-CYCLE POWER CONVERSION EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052797 titled 'HEAT SOURCE TEMPERATURE REGULATION AND WORKING MEDIUM DETECTION FOR CLOSED-CYCLE POWER CONVERSION EQUIPMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for operating a closed-cycle power conversion device by monitoring thermal information from sensors that sense the thermal characteristics of a heat exchanger. If the measured thermal information is outside of a normal range, an abnormality message is generated.
- Monitors thermal information from sensors in a closed-cycle power conversion device
- Detects abnormalities in operation based on measured thermal information
- Heat absorption from a heat source is proportional to the working medium's mass or mass flow rate
Potential Applications
- Energy generation from heat sources
- Monitoring and controlling closed-cycle power conversion devices
Problems Solved
- Detecting abnormalities in the operation of closed-cycle power conversion devices
- Ensuring efficient and safe operation of the device
Benefits
- Early detection of issues can prevent damage to the device
- Optimizes the performance of the closed-cycle power conversion device
- Increases overall efficiency and reliability of the system
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for operation of a closed-cycle power conversion device includes receiving measured thermal information from one or more sensors that sense thermal characteristics of a hot portion of an absorber heat exchanger of a closed-cycle power conversion device which uses a working medium in its operation. the closed-cycle power conversion device is in thermal connection with a heat source, and absorption of heat from the heat source is proportional to a mass or mass flow rate of the working medium. if the measured thermal information is not in a defined normal range, a message is provided of an abnormality in operation of the closed-cycle power conversion device.
