The laws of thermodynamics, like the iron laws of the universe, declare an insurmountable gulf between heat and mechanical energy. Heat cannot be converted into mechanical energy 100%, whereas mechanical energy is converted into heat without loss. This seems to set an impenetrable limit for human beings, like the illusion of a perpetual motion machine of the second type, after a one-time injection of energy, the heat generated by the operation of the mechanical device cannot be converted into mechanical energy again to make the device run perpetually. The universe seems destined to move forward on the path of increasing entropy, which seems to have become an insurmountable obstacle for mankind, just as gravity once bound mankind and made it impossible for us to leave the embrace of the earth.
However, human ingenuity and courage can always find a way out of the predicament. The innovative concept of "energy lever" has opened the door to low-temperature heat source power generation. By converting the air energy or seawater heat from the sun, the principle of energy lever is used to transfer it to a high temperature of more than 250. With the work unit of the duplex absorption cycle, we can achieve the goal of efficient power generation. This method has significant advantages over the proximity of artificial solar power generation technology.
First of all, from an economic point of view, the investment cost of energy leverage technology is relatively low. The artificial sun needs to reach tens of thousands of degrees of heat, and it is extremely difficult to control. In order to achieve this, a strong magnetic field is required, which is constrained by a Tomac device. However, the miniaturization of such a device is almost impossible to achieve. In contrast, energy-lever machines are more flexible and are expected to be miniaturized and used as a source of power for automobiles, ships, airplanes, and other vehicles to continue to sail. What's more, this power source does not need to be recharged or refueled, as long as there is air or water, energy can be claimed, providing new possibilities for sustainable development in the future.
So, while the laws of thermodynamics set certain seemingly insurmountable boundaries for us, human ingenuity and courage always find a way to break through. The emergence of energy lever technology not only provides us with a new way of power generation, but also brings new hope for sustainable development in the future.
In addition, the second law of thermodynamics has another insurmountable boundary, announcing that people cannot achieve the dream of doing work by extracting heat from a single heat source. This seems to set some kind of limit to energy use, but the magic of the energy lever is that although it appears to be a single heat source that only extracts heat from air or seawater to drive the work, in reality there are still two heat sources in the energy conversion device because it is a change in the heat feedback loop.
One is a high-temperature heat source, with a temperature of more than 250 degrees, like the steam produced by a thermal power boiler, releasing a huge amount of energy. The other is a low-temperature heat source lower than the ambient temperature, although it seems to come from a single heat source of the heat source tower, but the heat source tower plays an indispensable role in the energy conversion, it is not a thermal power generation cooling tower to exclude the latent heat of exhaust steam, but to absorb the latent heat of water vapor in the air, but to exclude the amount of cold. The temperature difference between the two heat sources inside the energy conversion device can exceed 270, forming a strong thermal contrast.
Generally, the low-temperature heat source of thermal power generation is higher than the ambient temperature, and the lower the temperature of the low-temperature heat source, the higher the power generation efficiency will be, so the power generation efficiency of the power plant in winter can be increased by more than 1%. For this reason, the use of traditional refrigeration technology to cool down the low-temperature heat source, so as to improve its power generation efficiency, is not worth the loss, but will cause more power consumption. But with the advanced Reverse Carnot cycle technology of thermal feedback, we can solve this problem ingeniously. This technology not only makes the temperature of the low-temperature heat source more than 15 lower than the ambient temperature, but also can recycle the latent heat of the exhaust steam in the condenser, and there will be no water vapor in the cooling tower of the thermal power plant, which causes a large amount of heat and waste of water resources, and can realize the maximum utilization of energy. This technological innovation has taken us a big step forward in the pursuit of efficient energy use.
In practice, the application of this Carnot cycle technology with thermal feedback also shows its unique advantages. In the process of traditional thermal power generation, a large amount of heat energy is wasted because the latent heat of exhaust steam in the condenser cannot be effectively utilized, which not only reduces the power generation efficiency, but also increases the consumption of cooling water. By adopting the inverse Carnot cycle technology of heat feedback, the originally wasted heat energy is fully utilized, which not only improves the efficiency of power generation, but also eliminates the problem of cooling water to cool the low-temperature heat source.
In addition, this technology can effectively reduce the carbon emissions and environmental impact of thermal power plants. Due to the improvement in power generation efficiency, the amount of fuel required for the same amount of electricity is reduced, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels. At the same time, because there is no need for cooling water to cool down, it also reduces the pressure on water dependence, but can use the latent heat of water vapor in the air to generate electricity, and at the same time, the condensate generated becomes the water for their life and production, and can also provide a cold source for users and enterprises in summer.
In general, the application of the Carnot cycle technology has brought revolutionary changes to the thermal power industry. It not only improves power generation efficiency and reduces energy consumption, but also maximizes the use of energy and water resources, injecting new vitality into sustainable development. With the continuous development and improvement of the technology, we have reason to believe that this technology will play a more important role in the future energy field and promote us towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly future.
