Abstract
The purpose of a thermal induction machine is to put thermal resources and thermal uses (Q.sub.o, Q.sub.1, Q'.sub.1, Q.sub.2) into relation, so as to valorize the energy of the resources, the device operating in very similar fashion to reversibility with a binary working fluid used in diphasic form. It includes a first direct assembly of heat transfer elements inserted serially on the liquid and working fluid vapor flows. The first assembly consists of a first diphasic contact column (Kd) operating at an initial pressure value. It also includes a second assembly of heat transfer elements. The second assembly is reverse to the first and containing the same number of elements and notably a second diphasic contact column (Kg), the second column working at a second pressure value lower than the first value, adventitious flows (m.sub.o, m'.sub.o, m.sub.1, m'.sub.1) being established between the two assemblies on the terminals of the homologous elements. All the parts of the device have a temperature between any two values (columns, adventitious flows) exchanging heat between them. The adventitious flows and their direction are adjusted so that the two columns receive at all points, during exchanges, the quantities of heat corresponding to their thermal activity.
