1. An air conditioning system comprising:
a compressor; an outside air handler in fluid communications with the compressor; a thermal storage having a first set of heat transfer tubes and a second set of heat transfer tubes, a first end of the first set of heat transfer tubes in fluid communications with the outside air handler and a second end of the first set of heat transfer tubes in fluid communications with the compressor; an inside air handler having an input and an output; a fluid pump having an input and an output, the input of the pump in fluid communications with a second end of the second set of heat transfer tubes and the output of the pump in fluid communications with the input of the inside air handler, and the output of the inside air handler in fluid communications with a first end of the second set of heat transfer tubes; whereas when the compressor runs, a first refrigerant is compressed into a liquid, cooled by the outside air handler and flows into the first set of heat transfer tubes where the first refrigerant evaporates, extracting heat from a material within the thermal storage and the evaporated refrigerant returns to the compressor; and whereas when cooling is needed, the pump operates and circulates a second refrigerant in liquid form from the second end of the second set of heat transfer tubes into the inside air handler where the refrigerant extracts heat as it evaporates into a gas and the refrigerant in gaseous form returns to the thermal storage where the refrigerant condenses back into a cold liquid. |
