A novel simple, reliable and thermally efficient apparatus for incorporating thermal energy storage in domestic-sized air-conditioning systems is disclosed. This thermal energy storage apparatus for chilled water air-conditioning systems incorporates a chilled-water (or other chilled liquid) loop with two previously patented apparatus. The addition of a reliable and low cost chilled water loop to thermal energy systems for domestic-sized air-conditioning systems enables simple citing and modular construction of the thermal energy storage apparatusread more

Heat exchange method using natural flow of heat exchange medium
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and economical way to allow natural flow between two heat exchangers which are exposed to air at different temperatures is proposed. But the two heat exchange is effected in a simple, economical manner by allowing natural flow, i.e., without mechanical compressors, pumps, etc., of a heat exchange fluid such as a conventional refrigerant liquid.
