ABSTRACT:
An Ericsson cycle machine is disclosed which can be used for refrigeration, liquefaction of nitrogen or as an engine.

As a refrigeration unit, the liquid ring in the compressor is channeled through a heat exchanger to reject waste heat and liquid is tapped from the expander liquid ring and used as a refrigerant.
