Abstract: This disclosure relates to a improved thermodynamic cycle with power unit and venturi, a method of producing a useful effect therewith using a greater pressure gradient created locally in a fluid using the venturi, and more particularly, the use of a first portion of the fluid in the thermodynamic cycle as driving force for a venturi, and the placement of the venturi nozzle in an exhaust area of the power unit to create a greater pressure gradient locally and collect a second portion of the fluid in the thermodynamic cycle.

Abstract: A refrigerant power unit includes a closed piping loop containing refrigerant. The refrigerant is pumped to an evaporator where it changes to a saturated vapor. It is directed across a generator absorbing additional heat energy and changing to a super-heated hot gas. The refrigerant is directed through the nozzles in a turbine and impinges upon turbine blades. As the refrigerant passes around the turbine blades, it expands and exits the turbine blades in an axial direction. The enthalpy, temperature and pressure of the refrigerant drops, reducing the refrigerant to a saturated vapor. The refrigerant then enters a condenser heat exchanger dissipating heat into the surrounding medium, reducing the enthalpy of the refrigerant, changing the refrigerant into a liquid before entering the receiver tank. A pump draws the liquid refrigerant from the receiver tank and pressurizes the system. The refrigerant is directed to the inlet of the evaporator, completing the cycle through the refrigerant power unit.
