Summary

Recent theoretical research shows it is possible to convert effectively ambient temperature heat in clean refrigeration, heating and work, using the synergy of absorption and hybrid compression technologies. This paper considers work and refrigeration aspects, only. The new technology, named Mother & Father Hybrid Compression (M&F), may challenge known nuclear and clean renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, photovoltaics, biomass. The M&F technology respects 2nd principle and might be capable to produce mechanical or electrical energy up to 1.0 MJ work / kg refrigerant, most ecologically 24 hours / day and 365 days / year in most world regions with -63 to +75 C deg. ambient temperatures. The ambient temperature heat source is external sink source, as well. The paper gives M&F flow-charts and working operation results. Two important M&F aspects relate to its put in work order. First, M&F uses in terrestrial, maritime and space stationary and mobile applications. Second, given the ambient heat source is mostly of sensible type and much less of latent type, the mobile applications may confront with limited specific capacity, especially when the heat source is air, unless storage of M&F energy produced is not considered. The present work shows that, even in these cases, it might be possible to benefit of M&F direct application, for instance for car transportation. The work gives two curves families of air and water mass flow rates, kg/s, having -54 to +49 C deg. and 0 to +49 C deg. heat temperature, respectively. Results base on sensible heat extraction from heat sources only and plot for 1 kW power and 1 C deg. air and water temperature difference. For higher power and ambient temperature differences, results of curves families multiply by appropriate factors. In case of air heat supply in temperate and warm climates, the required mass flow rate is cca. 1.2 to 1.35 kg/s. In case of water heat supply, mass flow rates are by cca. 7 times smaller as compared to those of air, so work capacity of M&F mobile plants can be considerably higher and fluvial and maritime navigation is favored. Conclusions of M&F technology use are: i) extracting heat from ambient can decrease significantly the global warming; ii) it extends distributed clean energy production as compared to present times; iii) applications might be feasible especially in case of water use as ambient heat source, with very positive impact on maritime navigation.
