Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a vacuum tube with an outer wall. An inner tube can be filled with a heat-conducting fluid. The outer wall of the inner tube is situated concentric to a wall of the vacuum tube. At least one heat-conducting film is provided that joins said wall of the vacuum tube to the fluid-conducting tube system. A means which collects and concentrates solar energy is provided on the wall on the side of the vacuum tube facing away from the heat-conducting element. In addition, each heat-conducting element, while being pretensioned, presses against the wall of the vacuum tube and against the fluid-conducting tube system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the conversion of heat energy into another energy form provided with at least one heat input and pressure reservoir module, each comprising a heat-input transmitting device and a pressure reservoir, whereby said device and pressure reservoir are connected to each other for the exchange of fluid and an energy conversion device, connected to the pressure reservoir of the heat input and pressure reservoir module for the exchange of fluid, by means of which the energy built up in the form of fluid pressure in the heat input and pressure reservoir module may be converted into said other energy form.
