Abstract
The Maisotsenko cycle (M-cycle) is a proven thermodynamic process, which captures energy from air, utilizing the psychrometric renewable energy available from the latent heat of water evaporating into the air. In air conditioning the M-cycle uniquely combines the thermodynamic processes of heat transfer and evaporative cooling to enable product temperature to approach the ambient dew point temperature. The application of capturing energy from air utilizing the latent heat of evaporation to transfer energy , electric energy generation, engine technology water distillation, all with absolutely no carbon emissions. Maisotsenko cycle fully utilizes the thermodynamic unbalance of the atmospheric air through the process of evaporation, condensation and sensible heat (energy) transfer. The natural unbalance of atmospheric air is based on the enthalpy (i.e. temperature and moisture content) difference between the masses of air, which eventually results in a pressure difference, which creates all the most powerful natural phenomena that can be observed. Maisotsenko cycle creates the same enthalpy difference by cooling one air stream without adding moisture, while heating and humidifying the second air stream.
The principles of M-cycle can be used in any application which requires energy. Most popular application of the Maisotsenko cycle air the air conditioning systems: it is proven that M-Cycle can reduce the energy consumption up to 90% in compare to the 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.
Following paper discusses different applications of the Maisotsenko cycle and describes the energy savings which can be obtained.
