Summary
The use of air as a working fluid in refrigeration and heat pump systems shows great potential. Ongoing research work aims to develop systems which can compete with vapour compression and other technologies for specific applications, in terms of cost, environment impact and performance. This paper describes the fundamentals of air cycles, historical and current use, development potential and some of the research efforts currently being made.
