Abstract
Provided is a thermal energy compensator providing relatively constant temperature water to a distributed cooling system.
Claims5
A thermal energy compensator for use in conjunction with an air conditioning unit, comprising:
- a shell and tube structured heat exchanger flooded with water in an initial condition;
- and
- a vacuum pump operably connected to an inlet of a turbine engine and to an exhaust fan;
- wherein the thermal energy compensator is connected in line with the air conditioning unit;
- and the thermal energy compensator operates subject to a plurality of feedback loop systems;
- whereby incoming water is provided at a supply temperature, and outgoing water is provided at a return temperature;
- and
- when a demand for cooling exceeds a native cooling capacity of the air conditioning unit, the thermal energy compensator provides additional cooling capacity.
