Test and Demonstration of a Hermetic Compressor Seal. Phase I. Development of a Braun Linear Engine-Driven Heat-Actuated Heat Pump

摘要

The objectives of the two projects are to develop and demonstrate a viable hermetic seal; to advance the state of development, through analyses, simulation, design, fabrication and testing, of the key elements and components of the Braun linear engine/compressor so that it becomes a sound basis for a reliable light-commercial-sized heat pump system; to develop and evaluate integral heat recovery and defrost systems; to develop necessary controls; and to develop preliminary prototype heat pump system specifications. The concept, technical accomplishments, and future activities are summarized. (ERA citation 06:027301)
