Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An integrated power and refrigeration system is disclosed that includes a first subsystem configured to provide cooling air using a reverse-Brayton cycle using compressed air and a second subsystem configured to provide power by accepting a first portion of the compressed air from the first subsystem, heating the accepted first portion of the compressed air to form hot compressed air, and using the hot compressed air to drive a turbine that is coupled to a power generator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An integrated power and refrigeration system comprising: a first subsystem configured to provide cooling air using a reverse-Brayton cycle, the first subsystem comprising: a first compressor configured to provide compressed air, a first heat exchanger configured to accept a first portion of the compressed air and provide cool compressed air, and a cooling turbine configured to accept the cool compressed air, expand the cool compressed air to further coo…
