Revolutionary Cooling System Harnesses Environmental Heat

Industrial & Engineering
WO/2025/224471

The invention introduces a novel thermodynamic process capable of efficient cooling and harnessing environmental heat to produce work, overcoming the limitations of current cooling methods that depend on refrigeration machines operating near ambient temperatures. By converting absorbed thermal energy during cooling into mechanical work, this process offers a solution that can inexpensively reach cryogenic temperatures. This is achieved through a carefully designed cycle where steam is expanded in a mixed-phase, separated into liquid and steam, and then the steam is re-compressed with the liquid to maintain cooling and restore the cycle conditions. This CoolerPowerplant allows the production of useful energy from environmental heat while maintaining operations below ambient temperatures, offering applications in cooling systems, energy storage, and power generation. The innovation not only promises efficiency and versatility but also supports cleaner energy usage at lower costs, heralding significant implications for sustainability and industrial applications.
