摘要： Cooling systems and methods with high efficiency and of compact design are disclosed. In an aspect, cooling systems and methods are disclosed that are capable of generating thermal energy that powers at least some of the components of the disclosed cooling systems. Such cooling systems and methods may utilize heat energy transfers into and out of an internal fluid that undergoes substantial changes in pressure states such that the changes in pressure states of the internal fluid generate mechanical power that may be converted into usable energy by other portions of the system. Such cooling systems and methods may be capable of removing unwanted heat from building interiors, various pieces of machinery, electrical components, and spaces proximal to industrial and commercial processes.

摘要： A pulsed pressure, heat recovery system includes a pressure vessel for holding a vaporisable first fluid. The vessel contains a heat exchanger, and provides communication to the heat exchanger for flow of a heated second fluid. The heat exchanger enables heat transfer from the second fluid to vaporise the first fluid. The system also includes a flow loop for the first fluid extending from an outlet of the vessel to an inlet to the vessel, having in series: a first non-return valve, a turbine and a second non-return valve. The first non-return valve allows the vaporised first fluid to flow from the vessel to the turbine when the pressure of the vaporised first fluid in the vessel exceeds a predetermined limit. The turbine extracts energy from expansion of the vaporised first fluid. The second non-return valve prevents flow reversal around flow loop between the turbine and the inlet.
