  • Supercritical refrigerant cycle system
    Patent number: 7143595
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve a heat exchanging capability in an evaporator in a refrigerant cycle system in which a high pressure side is operated at a supercritical pressure. The refrigerant cycle system is a refrigerant cycle system in which a compressor, a gas cooler, an expansion valve and an evaporator are sequentially connected in a cyclic form and a high pressure side is operated at a supercritical pressure, wherein the degree of opening of the expansion valve is adjusted based on the temperature and pressure of a refrigerant at an outlet of the evaporator so as to control the degree of superheat at the outlet of the evaporator. An abstract of the present invention is to make large the degree of superheat at the outlet of the evaporator by means of the expansion valve.

  • Hot gas machine
    Patent number: 5400599
    Abstract: Gas displacement volumes of a high temperature chamber and a middle temperature chamber in a high temperature portion of a hot gas machine are different. Alternatively, a gas displacement volume of a low temperature chamber and a middle temperature chamber in a low temperature portion are different.
