    摘要: An improved efficiency method and device for converting thermal energy into mechanical energy, and then, preferably, into electricity and/or refrigerating energy. A partially liquid stream fc0 of fluid FC is implemented; thermal energy is transferred to the stream fc0; the heated stream fc0 is sprayed to generate a fragmented stream fc1 of fluid FC. Simultaneously a partially liquid stream ft0 of fluid FT is implemented; thermal energy is transferred to the stream ft0 to generate a stream ft that may be in liquid form or a saturated liquid/vapor mixture; stream f1 is expanded in a chamber which also receives fragmented stream fc1 to form a two-phase mixed stream fc1/t whose kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy which is optionally transformed into electrical energy or into refrigerating energy.

    摘要: Systems and methods for selectively producing steam from solar collectors and heaters are disclosed. A method in accordance with a particular embodiment includes directing a flow of water to a solar collector, directing the flow of water to a gas-fired heater, and, as a result of heating the flow of water at the solar collector and the gas-fired heater, forming steam from the flow of water. The method further includes changing a sequence by which at least a portion of the flow passes through the solar collector and the gas-fired heater.
