Development of a Braun linear engine-driven, heat-actuated heat pump
Abstract
The operation of a Braun engine/compressor in a heat pump mode was demonstrated. Performance factors with the carbureted breadboard engine version were on the low side and the range of operation below maximum. Component analyses are summarized and the breadboard design, fabrication, and performance tests are described.
