  • Vehicle air conditioning system
    Patent number: 4523437
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle of the type having an engine which produces heat conveyed from the engine by an exhaust system, a water circulation system and an oil circulation system, comprising a heat engine including a refrigerant circulation system and a refrigerant circulation subsystem. The refrigerant circulation system is connected to at least one of the heat conveying systems from the engine such that the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation system is heated. The heat so received drives the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation subsystem by means of an ejector. Expansion of refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation subsystem provides air conditioning through a load evaporator. The refrigerant circulation system is preferably connected to the vehicle engine to obtain synergistic use of the engine water pump, radiator fan, oil circulation system and exhaust circulation system.

  • Temperature conditioning system suitable for use with a solar energy collection and storage apparatus or a low temperature energy source
    Patent number: 4248049
    Abstract: A temperature conditioning system employing an ejector-type compressor and a refrigerant selected for operation at the limited operating temperatures of a heat energy collection and storage apparatus. Improved performance may be achieved by employing a two-tank storage system having a control circuit for supplying heat transfer medium from the hotter of the tanks for return to the cooler.
