Energy Saving Potential by Using Maisotsenko-Cycle in Different Applications

Abstract

The Maisotsenko cycle (M-cycle) is a proven thermodynamic process which captures energy from the air, utilizing the psychometric renewable energy, available from latent heat of water evaporating into the air. In air conditioning, the M-cycle uniquely combines thermodynamic processes of heat transfer and evaporative cooling, in order to enable temperature of the product to approach ambient dew point temperature. The capturing energy from the latent heat of evaporation may be usedin electric energy generation, engine technology, water distillation with absolutely no carbon emissions. The principles of M-cycle can be used in any application which requires energy. Most popular application of the Maisotsenko cycle are the air conditioning systems; it is proven that M-Cycle can reduce the energy consumption up to 90% in comparison to traditional solutions. Besides the air conditioning systems, M-Cycle can also be used for effective water desalination, increasing the effectiveness of gas turbines and photovoltaic panels. The following paper discusses different applications of the Maisotsenko cycle and describes energy savings which can be obtained.
