ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of air conditioning systems are disclosed. The systems may include an air conditioner whose energy source is provided by heating of a first fluid. The first fluid may be in a liquid state contained in a reservoir hydraulically connected to a first chamber. The first chamber may be configured to receive thermal energy utilized to convert the first fluid into a vapor. The system may also include a second chamber hydraulically connected to the first chamber to receive the vaporized fluid from the first chamber. The second chamber may be configured to condense the vaporized first fluid, causing depressurization in the second chamber. The system may be configured such that the depressurization of the second chamber may drive an external fluid through an expanding valve in addition to an energy converter (e.g. Turbine Generator) overall able to convert the first fluid condensing energy into cooling and mechanical or electrical energy.
