Abstract
The present invention relates to an installation and a process implementing the installation for converting thermal energy available in a given environment into useful energy. The installation and process use pressure differentials between a hot and a cold column of a pressurized fluid to create a continuous flow in a fluid. The flow drives in rotation elements the rotational energy of which is converted to a useful energy.
