Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided in some embodiments is a system that includes a gas compressor including an engine, a compressor driven by the engine, and a vapor absorption cycle (VAC) system driven by waste heat from the compressor, wherein the VAC system is configured to cool at least one medium. In other embodiments is provided a method that includes generating waste heat while compressing a gas, driving a vapor absorption cycle (VAC) system with the waste heat, and cooling at least one medium via the VAC system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a vapor absorption cycle (VAC) system at least substantially driven by waste heat from a compressor, wherein the VAC system is configured to cool at least one medium; and a controller configured to control a flow of the waste heat from the compressor to the VAC system. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control a plurality of independent flows of the waste heat from the comp…
