1]1.The Invention
Title
AIR THERMAL ENERGY COMPLEX
The problem the inventor wanted to solve:
The inventor want to solve the problem of global warming, dependency on fossil fuel like coal
and the problem of supplying fresh water to the ever increasing population.
Description:
This project is aimed at producing electricity by using the vast heat content of atmosphere. The scheme is basically aimed as producing electricity by extracting heat from atmosphere. In this project, this is done by using mechanical arrangement similar to heat pump. This system is used to squeeze energy from huge volumes of air and to produce temperature difference by which energy can be produced. It is to be noted that fresh water and salt are added bonus to this project, as salty brackish water can be used in this project. This is done by vaporizing water inside an enclosed container named “Evaporator” with the help of a vacuum pump. As the vacuum pump sucks air from the container, the water inside began to evaporate and in this process collects its latent heat of vaporization from water. For that reason, the water inside becomes colder and heat began to flow in from outside. Thus in effect, the latent heat of vaporization of water is collected from outside atmosphere. In the open-cycle OTEC, vapor is produced in the same manner and on experiment it was found that to have vapor flow rate of 1 kg/sec, power needed at the vacuum pump is 3 KW. Whereas, the latent heat embedded in 1 kg of vapor is 2.31 MW. After the vapor is produced, it is heated further with adiabatically compressed, hot air. After heating the vapor in the Boiler, the hot, compressed air is passed through the Evaporator to give up its residue heat to the water inside. The process is the same as that of common heat pumps sold in the market. And finally, the temp. diff. between the Boiler and the Condenser is created by suddenly releasing the compressed air at the Condenser. And thus a system of real efficiency of >50% is created.
Presentation:
This invention looks just like any thermal power plant with some additions to it. In short, it may look like a hybrid of land based open cycle OTEC and thermal power plants.
Fields of application:
Electricity generation for utility services and other industrial purposes in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Especially for islands, this can be very helpful as it will reduce their dependency on imported fossil fuels and can supply sufficient fresh water.
Advantages
1)The electricity produced by this technology will be cheaper.
2)No question of any kind of emission can arise and it is clean.
3)It can be made with present state of technology.
4)The cost of making a plant is less than that of a thermal power plant.
5)The basic source of energy is unlimited.
Stage of development
It is still in just design stage, no prototype has been built yet. But the processes, with which the technology is comprised of is tested and confirmed.
Documentation available
As no prototype has been built, so there is no question of documentation. But the processes, which together make the technology, have been documented. Data about evaporation of water by vacuum pump is documented in the website of experiment by Dr. L.A.Vega in http://www.otecnews.org/articles/vega/07_landbased_OTEC.html. Effectiveness of counter current heat exchange is documented in websites about Maisotsenko cycle.
2. The inventor
Name
Pranab Jyoti Ghosh
Self-introduction
My name is Pranab Jyoti Ghosh, I am an Indian physics graduate and myself have theoretically developed a technology on producing energy without any kind of fuel. This technology is about producing energy by extracting heat from atmosphere. This technology is a combination of processes that are well tested and now in use in different industries and research projects. I have done everything that I can do by myself. But for further advance, I need financial and technical assistance. I specifically want to make a virtual prototype by using data from different experiments that I have collected from different industries and research projects and after that get a patent and start licensing this technology. Those who are reading this message, other than the venture capitalists, are requested to guide me to persons, organizations, institutes and others, who can probably take interest in my work and will help me to make my idea a reality. I am assuring them that this project is just need to be made and improved. All the basic experiments had been already done successfully and enough data had been gathered. In short, it is a new and exciting kind of technology and as far as I know, nothing like this exists this day. Can anybody help me to make my idea a reality?
Owner of the invention
Yes, I am the owner of the invention and none is involved with me in this matter.
3. Protection
Patent Status:The patent is applied only in India, the application no. is 496/cal/97-E but no patent is granted yet. No patent applied in any other country of the world.
4. Business intention
The inventor wants to license this technology to electric utility companies and other customers who have to produce their electricity for consumption in industries.
