Abstract: A transport refrigeration system includes a refrigeration unit including a plurality of components fluidly coupled to form a closed loop refrigeration circuit. A power source is configured to provide electrical power to the refrigeration unit. An exhaust gas generated by the power source is provided at an outlet of the power source. The exhaust gas at the outlet of the power source is supersaturated and the outlet of the power source is fluidly coupled to an outlet of the transport refrigeration system. A source of at least one of heat and fluid is coupled with the exhaust gas at a location upstream from the outlet of the transport refrigeration system. The exhaust gas at a location downstream from the source is not supersaturated.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) system includes a sorption circuit including a heat absorption heat exchanger in fluid communication with a primary fluid flow source such that a primary fluid flow from is directed therethrough. The heat absorption heat exchanger is configured to exchange thermal energy between the primary fluid flow and a secondary fluid flow. A sorption heat exchanger includes a sorbent material to adsorb or absorb the primary fluid flow, generating thermal energy. The sorption heat exchanger is configured to transfer the generated thermal energy to a tertiary fluid flow. A heat exchange circuit is in fluid communication with the sorption circuit and includes a control valves connected to both the secondary fluid flow and the tertiary fluid flow configured to selectably direct the secondary fluid flow and/or the tertiary fluid flow to a conditioning heat exchanger or an ambient heat exchanger.
