Thermal Recycling Air Conditioning System: A Sustainable Approach to Cooling and Energy Recovery

Abstract

Conventional air conditioning systems consume significant amounts of energy and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. This paper introduces a Thermal Recycling Air Conditioning System that reuses waste heat generated during cooling operations. The system integrates a DC compressor, thermal exchanger, steam engine, and DC generator to recycle thermal energy into electrical power. Modeling and design analysis demonstrate potential reductions in energy consumption and operational costs, while offering adaptability across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
