TLC heat engine<\/strong>
The design of a TLC heat engine (TLC-HE) does not differ fundamentally from the well-known designs of a steam turbine.
The TLC rotor, as the rotating component (comparable to a turbine wheel), is mounted in a housing on a hollow shaft so that it can rotate.
The housing can, but does not necessarily have to, serve as a storage tank for the cold liquid working fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hot liquid working fluid is supplied via a rotary feedthrough of the hollow shaft, from where the working fluid flows into the TLC rotor.
In the TLC rotor<\/a><\/strong>, the actual conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy (flow energy) takes place, which, when the partially evaporated working fluid exits a nozzle, generates a force acting on the TLC rotor.
This force sets the TLC rotor in rotation and thus drives the generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power increase and variable power<\/strong>
The flat design of a TLC rotor enables a simple power increase by operating multiple TLC rotors on a common rotation axis (figure left).
Separate working fluid feeds to the individual rotors (figure right) allows a simple stepwise power control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
