An air cycle air conditioning system is provided that utilizes the compartment to be cooled as a heat storage chamber within the system. In an automobile environment, the use of the enclosed passenger compartment as a heat storage chamber within the air cycle system enables the construction and implementation of a compact low energy consumption air conditioning system within the automobile. Through the use of valves within the system, the air cycle air conditioner is easily converted into a heat pump for the passenger compartment. The system of the present invention can be implemented in industrial, commercial, residential and/or automobile applications.
