ABSTRACT:
Power generating and air conditioning system comprises an internal combustion engine, a vapor engine, and a refrigerant cooled air conditioning system wherein the vapor engine is driven by the expansion gas of refrigerant, the waste heat of the internal combustion engine is exchanged through a heat exchanger with the refrigerant, such as freon, and the pressure is accumulated to a working pressure, then introduced into the refrigerant engine to expand and drive the rotor to generate power. After the work is done, the larger part of the refrigerant gas is reintroduced through a receiver, to the heat exchanger to absorb heat and accumulate pressure. The remainder of the refrigerant gas is bypassed is condensed in a condenser, and evaporated in an evaporator to produce a cooling effect. After evaporation the bypassed refrigerant is pumped back to the receiver to be incorporated with the larger part of the refrigerant and returned to the heat exchanger for recycling to generate power as well as produce an air conditioning effect. Thus, energy is saved and engine efficiency is increased. The system includes one refrigerant circuit for power generating and one refrigerant circuit for cooling. The later circuit forms a bypass from the low pressure refrigerant gas discharge side of the vapor engine of the former circuit to the low pressure side of the heat exchanger. At least two pressure accumulating chambers for refrigerant are provided within the heat exchanger for utilizing waste heat of the internal combustion engine and each accumulator is provided with a check valve at its inlet and a pressure release valve at its outlet to maintain a stable working pressure. The plurality of accumulating chamber are used alternately in sequence to discharge the refrigerant gas to the vapor engine in substantially steady flow.
