Claim Text:
1. A refrigeration system comprising: a refrigeration side, the refrigeration side comprising: a heat engine side, the heat engine side comprising: a diaphragm assembly between the refrigeration side and the heat engine side, where: on the refrigeration side, the evaporator is in fluid communication with the diaphragm assembly, the diaphragm assembly is in fluid communication with the condenser, and the condenser is in fluid communication with the evaporator such that the refrigerant fluid flows from the evaporator to the diaphragm assembly, from the diaphragm assembly to the condenser, and from the condenser to the evaporator; on the heat engine side, the boiler is in fluid communication with the diaphragm assembly, the diaphragm assembly is in fluid communication with the condenser, and the condenser is in fluid communication with the boiler such that the engine fluid flows from the boiler to the diaphragm assembly, from the diaphragm assembly to the condenser, and from the condenser to the boiler; and where the diaphragm assembly comprises a diaphragm separating the refrigerant fluid from the engine fluid, where the diaphragm is flexible such that when the refrigerant fluid has a higher pressure than the engine fluid, the diaphragm forces the engine fluid out of the diaphragm assembly and when the engine fluid has a higher pressure than the refrigerant fluid, the diaphragm forces the refrigerant fluid out of the diaphragm assembly.
