本文讨论了一种新的空调、制冷和热泵循环的热力学，该循环包含两个传热过程，同时包含压缩和膨胀过程。新循环的工作介质本质上是多组分的，通常由过热气体载体组分（如空气）和相变组分（如水）组成。基本循环与系统配置的变化一起描述。介绍了简单的分析模型和方法，并将其应用于计算样品系统的循环效率。结果表明，逆布雷顿循环和逆朗肯循环是新循环的子类。 同样，逆卡诺也可以用这个循环来近似。此外，还表明，这种新循环产生的理想性能系数（COP）大于反向布雷顿循环和反向朗肯循环。例如，在“制冰”热泵配置中，源温度为32°F（O°C），最大排汽温度为105°F（40.6°C），理想的加热COP为9.72，而R22反向朗肯循环的理想COP为7.25。在空调配置中，最大冷凝温度为150华氏度（65.6摄氏度），最小蒸发温度为40华氏度（4.4摄氏度），与理想的R-12蒸汽压缩循环COP为4相比，理想的冷却COP为8.19。 26.引文:新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基市阿什雷学报第84卷第2部分

This paper discusses the thermodynamics of a new air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump cycle that embodies two heat transfer processes coupled with both a compression and an expansion process. The working medium of the new cycle is multicomponent in nature and, in general, consists of a superheated gaseous carrier component, such as air, in partnership with a phase-changing component, such as water. The basic cycle is described along with variations in system configuration. Simple analytical models and methods are introduced and applied to calculate cycle efficiencies for sample systems. It is shown that the reverse Brayton and reverse Rankine cycles are subcases of the new cycle. As well, the reverse Carnot can be approximated by this cycle. Further, it is shown that this new cycle yields ideal coefficients of performance (COP) greater than the reverse Brayton and reverse Rankine cycles. For example, in an "icemaking" heat pump configuration, with a source temperature of 32°F (O°C) and a maximum rejection temperature of 105°F (40.6°C), the ideal heating COP is 9.72 compared to an ideal COP for the R22 reverse Rankine cycle which is 7.25. In the air conditioning configuration, with a maximum condensing temperature of "150°F (65.6°C) and a minimum evaporation temperature of 40°F (4.4°C) the ideal cooling COP is 8.19 compared with an ideal R-12 vapor compression cycle COP of 4.26.
