摘要： A linear actuator is disclosed that is a double-ended solenoid with springs to provide much of the force for movement. The linear actuator can be used in a thermodynamic apparatus, such as a Vuilleumier heat pump in which two linear actuators are provided to drive two displacers. The linear actuator also has a cylindrical back iron section having first and second recesses with coils disposed in the recesses. The linear actuator assists in moving the armature from one end to the other and holds the armature at the end of travel. However, much of the force for moving the armature is provided by a spring exerting a force on the shaft with respect to the back iron section. In one embodiment, the spring is a compression-tension spring. Alternatively, two compression springs acting in opposition are provided.

摘要： A thermodynamic apparatus, such as a Stirling engine or a Vuilleumier heat pump, has a heat exchanger in which energy is exchanged between a working fluid and an exhaust gas stream. On top of the cylinder of the thermodynamic apparatus is a dome-shaped section. By incorporating the heat exchanger within the dome, the flow paths can be simplified, the number of separate components reduced, and overall weight reduced. Flow passages for the working fluid are embedded in the dome. Channels for the exhaust gases are formed in an outer surface. The passages and the channels are helically arranged, one clockwise and one counter clockwise. The dome can be cast with a core for the casting fabricated via three-dimensional printing. In some embodiments, the dome is made of fiber-reinforced material.

摘要： Reciprocating apparatuses such as a displacer in a Stirling engine or Vuilleumier (thermally-driven) heat pump and such as a poppet valve in an internal combustion engine have been known to be built with a mechatronic actuator. The reciprocating element has two springs in compression biased against each other. It has been found that conventional springs in compression introduce losses. A spring is disclosed in which a portion of the coil is wound in a clockwise direction and a portion is wound in a clockwise direction. Also, in reciprocation, the spring is in compression at one end of travel and in tension at the other end of travel.

摘要： Substituting a solar concentrator for a conventional burner for heating is desirable. However, the sun's energy is diurnal and cannot be counted upon even during daylight hours. To ensure heating is available, a backup conventional combustor can be provided. According to the present disclosure, a heat exchanger element of the heater assembly is directly acted upon by solar rays via a solar concentrator and by combustion. The heat exchanger acts as the combustion holder. Fuel provided to the outside of the heat exchanger is adjusted based on the demanded for heating and the amount of insolation achieved via the solar concentrator. The heat exchanger can be part of a conventional heater or a heat pump for heating water or air.

摘要： A tubular reactor is a combination combustor and heat exchanger. Combustion occurs adjacent to the tubes of the tubular reactor. A control method is disclosed that detects that combustion is occurring based on a temperature measurement. If not, a shutdown procedure or a restart is commanded. Additionally, the control method enters a shutdown procedure or a restart is commanded when temperature at the tubes exceeds a maximum temperature that would harm the tubular reactor.

摘要： An annular heat exchanger is disclosed that uses a spiral of a metallic ribbon that has a plurality of passages therein. The spiral is wound in such a manner such that there are gaps of a predetermined distance between adjacent turns. A plurality of spacers is put into the gaps at a first angular position and a second angular position. The assembly is brazed to form a solid between the spacers and the spiraled metallic ribbon. Inlet and outlet holes are machined through the spacers and the ribbon thereby fluidly coupling the passages in the ribbon with the holes. One of the fluids passes from the inlet hole to the outlet hole through one of the plurality of passages. The other fluid flows through the remaining gap areas between the turns of the metallic ribbon.

摘要： A gas-fired heat pump that has independently-actuated displacers, as opposed to crank coupled displacers, has some displacer strokes that require more energy than others to travel. By coupling the displacers by a spring, the forces to move the displacers are more evenly matched. A gas spring coupled between the displacers is disclosed in which volume with the gas spring includes: a portion of the volume within the hot displacer, a portion of the volume within the cold displacer, and a volume between the two displacers. Also disclosed is a bridge that spans across the housing between the hot and cold displacers. The forces acting on the displacers via the gas spring are based on pressure in the gas spring and the cross-sectional areas of plungers on the hot displacer, the cold displacer, and the bridge.

摘要： A four-process cycle is disclosed for a Vuilleumier heat pump that has mechatronically-controlled displacers. Vuilleumier heat pumps that use a crank to drive the displacers have been previously developed. However, mechatronic controls provides a greater degree of freedom to control the displacers. The four-process cycle provides a higher coefficient of performance than prior cycles in the crank-driven Vuilleumier heat pump and those previously disclosed for a mechatronically-driven Vuilleumier heat pump.

摘要： A tubular reactor which acts as a combustor and heat exchanger is disclosed. Such reactor supplants a system with a combustor having a heat exchanger arranged around the combustor. The combined system includes a diffuser having an inlet for a fuel-and-air mixture and a plurality of holes defined in its surface through which the fuel-and-air mixture exits the diffuser and a plurality of tubes. First linear portions along the length of each tube are mutually parallel with a centerline of the first portions of the tubes displaced from the diffuser by a predetermined distance. Centerlines of the linear portions of adjacent tubes are displaced from each other by a predetermined gap. The fuel and air combust in the proximity of the first portion of the tubes for effective heat transfer to gases traveling through the tubes. Such a tubular reactor can be employed within a thermal-compression heat pump.

摘要： Some heat pumps have displacers mechatronically-controlled via springs and coils acting upon a ferromagnetic plate. In some prior art heat pumps, the components are housed in hot parts of the heat pump and in others, the components are housed in a cold part of the heat pump, but the components are offset from a central axis of the heat pump. A heat pump with the mechatronic driver components collinear with a central axis of the heat pump has the components in a cold part of the heat pump.
