Patent number: 11891922Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: HevatechInventors: Jean-Edmond Chaix, Patrick Bouchard, Guillaume Le Guen

Patent number: 6349660Abstract: The device makes it possible to stabilize high tonnage ship, when several of them are used. Mainly, it comprises a train of mobile lead masses (12), completed at each end by a pair of jaws (16) pressing against the lateral rails of a housing (3). A single cable (2) serves to pull the train and to control the release of the jaws (16). The control means for displacement and for cable tension are placed on one side of the ship. The winch (20) of one device can be coupled to the winch of an adjacent device, thus allowing compensation should a device fail. Application refers to the stabilization of high tonnage ships, such as aircraft carriers.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: Societe Technique pour l'Energie Atomique TechnicatomeInventor: Edmond Chaix

Patent number: 4208987Abstract: The steam generator is provided with a vertical cylindrical enclosure having a bundle of U-shaped tubes therein connected to inlet and outlet collectors through a tube plate at the bottom. An inner casing surrounding the tubes defines an annular chamber which communicates with the tube chamber adjacent the tube plate. A heater is provided about the outlet portion of the tubes within the tube chamber. An ejector pump supplying a secondary fluid is located in the annular chamber adjacent the heater for pumping secondary fluid through the heater. A portion of the heated secondary fluid is recirculated through the pump and the remainder is directed into the tube chamber. Vapor phase separators are provided on top of the inner casing to allow the passage of the vapor phase through an outlet in the enclosure while returning the liquid phase to the annular chamber.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1978Date of Patent: June 24, 1980Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Jean-Edmond Chaix, Maurice Fajeau
