ABSTRACT:
This heat-activated refrigeration system couples a heat pump to a rotary fluid motor and starting means. The heat pump cycle maintains the system in thermal equilibrium by replacing energy leaving a regenerative refrigerant cycle. A shaft from the rotary fluid motor drives the compressor. The compressor discharge line branches so that one line couples to the rotary fluid motor to drive it, while the other line delivers refrigerant to a heat pump. Return flow from the fluid motor and return flow from the heat pump converge at the compressor suction line. The system can function as a heat engine with a power take-off shaft, or it can function as an ambient heat-activated refrigeration system, depending upon the size of its system components.
