Apparatus, method and software for use with an airconditioning cycle

摘要

A turbine for generating power has a rotor chamber, a rotor rotatable about a central axis within the rotor chamber, and at least one nozzle for supplying a fluid from a fluid supply to the rotor to thereby drive the rotor and generate power. The flow of the fluid from the nozzle exist is periodically interrupted by at least one flow interrupter means, thereby raising a pressure of the fluid inside the nozzle. A thermo-dynamic cycle is also disclosed including a compressor, a first turbine downstream of the compressor, a heat exchanger located downstream of the first turbine and operable to reject heat from the cycle to another thermodynamic cycle, an evaporator downstream of the heat exchanger and a second turbine downstream of the evaporator and upstream of the compressor.
