ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an environment control system utilizing the elevation differences and available temperatures on the earth's surface, such as occur in a mountainous region with a nearby valley or a desert. The system includes heat rejection means, as for example, a condenser located at a higher elevation (a mountain top). Means for supplying heat to the system may be provided at a lower elevation (in a valley or desert region below). A geothermal source of heat, such as a hot spring, may be used. Liquid flowing from the condenser at a relatively high pressure will be expanded, vaporized and cooled. The cooled vapor will absorb heat from the heat supply means and then be returned to the condenser on the mountain top.
The heat supply means or heat exchanger in the valley may be utilized as an evaporator to provide cooling for a buildingn, as for example, a hotel or factory. In some instances in this application, it may be necessary to supply additional heat or work to the vapor in order to assist the return of same to the mountain top.
