OSTI ID:5136339
This patent describes a steam pump for inputting a fluid and outputting high temperature-high pressure steam. It comprises a check valve for allowing flow of the fluid to the steam pump but preventing reverse flow; a pump vessel including an inlet at a first end for receiving the fluid and an outlet at a second end for outputting the high temperature-high pressure steam; means for predeterminedly heating the second end of the vessel; and a heat pipe mounted in the pump vessel such that one end thereof extends towards the vessel first end and a second end connects to the vessel outlet, whereby fluid flows into the vessel filling the vessel towards the vessel second end where it is heated and converted to steam forcing fluid up the heat pipe where it is heated, converted to steam and emerges from the pump vessel output.
