Abstract
An A/C system for a building used in conjunction with a pool comprises a pool pump used to filter and circulate the pool water that is coupled to an A/C refrigerant compressor unit. The A/C compressor supplies refrigerant to an evaporator coil inside of a building that is used in in conjunction with other standard A/C components located inside the building to cool the building. The pool pump is mechanically coupled to the compressor so that the pool pump motor drives both the pool pump and the compressor when the compressor is being used to move refrigerant. The compressor is connected to a water-cooled condenser coil inside of a water tank that receives water circulated from the pool pump to cool gaseous refrigerant returned from the building.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a. a pool pump configured to circulate water in a pool;
- b. a compressor configured to circulate a refrigerant to an air conditioner;
- and
- c. a mechanical coupling between the pool pump and the compressor that enables a motor of the pool pump to drive the compressor.
A system, comprising:
- a. a pool pump configured to circulate water in a pool;
- b. a compressor configured to circulate a refrigerant to an air conditioner;
- and
- c. a gas condenser coil coupled to the compressor and configured to cool the refrigerant circulated by the compressor, wherein the condenser coil is configured to be cooled with water ejected from the pool pump.
A method, comprising:
- a. circulating water in a pool with a pool pump driven by a motor;
- b. driving a refrigerant compressor with the motor of the pool pump to circulate a refrigerant to an air conditioner.
