Isothermalizer and its applications

The main component through which all the objectives proposed in our inventions are achieved is the isocompressor/isothermalizer, a device that can perform isothermal transformations, at the temperature chosen by the user (choice by which exergetic efficiency and power density are simultaneously decided). Due to its characteristics, the isothermalizer has an unlimited market and a very large number of potential users:

- all types of gas can be compressed, with minimal energy consumption, at high pressures, without intermediate heat exchangers

- all types of gas can be liquefied in simple installations, with low energy costs (and with the possibility of recovering, in the expansion phase, almost entirely, this energy)

- can be combined to achieve Ericsson cycle Carnot batteries to store, with very high round-trip efficiency, thermal and mechanical energy of any origin (including electricity from the grid )

- thermal engines, refrigerators and heat pumps can be made, with low energy consumption, between thermal sources with small temperature differences

- the optimal operating point of internal combustion engines (including hydrogen) can be moved to points with higher pressure and temperature than the current ones
