Abstract[English]
A method and system for generating vapor or steam are provided where steam is generated using thermal energy largely from the liquid's own thermal energy. The system being a thermo- and hydrodynamic oscillator where steam is formed by intentionally having an unstable column of water drop, generating low-pressure steam in its wake, having the column overshoot and in its return motion using the column as a liquid piston or column that compresses, heats and finally ejects the newly formed steam. The system includes an actuation system that is configured to modulate, assist, initiate or sustain oscillatory motion of the liquid piston or column. The system may include an initiation valve for interrupting a flowing liquid and forming a liquid piston or column therefrom.[French]
L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de génération de vapeur ou de vapeur d'eau dans lesquels de la vapeur est générée à l'aide d'énergie thermique largement à partir de la propre énergie thermique du liquide. Le système est un oscillateur thermo et hydrodynamique où de la vapeur est formée en faisant chuter intentionnellement une colonne instable d'eau, ce qui génère de la vapeur à basse pression dans son sillage, en provoquant le dépassement de la colonne et dans son mouvement de retour, en utilisant la colonne en tant que piston ou colonne de liquide qui comprime, chauffe et éjecte finalement de la vapeur nouvellement formée. Le système comprend un système d'actionnement qui est configuré pour moduler, aider, amorcer ou maintenir un mouvement oscillatoire du piston ou de la colonne de liquide. Le système peut comprendre une soupape d'amorçage permettant d'interrompre un liquide en écoulement et de former un piston ou une colonne de liquide à partir de celui-ci.
