Abstract:
1. A non-combusting refrigerant powered system comprising: a motor configured for receiving liquefied refrigerant stored in a storage unit, the motor comprising a heating element for heating the liquefied refrigerant without igniting the liquefied refrigerant and converting the liquefied refrigerant to gaseous form for powering the motor, wherein the heating element is inside the motor and is selected from the group consisting of a sparkplug, a transformer and an electrode; a condenser in fluid communication with the motor for receiving the gaseous refrigerant and for converting the gaseous refrigerant to liquefied form; a first pipe in fluid communication with the storage unit and the motor; a metering device in proximity to the first pipe for measuring at least one parameter of the liquefied refrigerant; a notification and correction system in operative communication with the metering device for monitoring said refrigerant powered system for any errors or irregularities that inhibit the proper flow of said liquefied refrigerant and for automatically correcting any error or irregularity; a plurality of sensors for obtaining data pertaining to said liquefied refrigerant and transmitting said data to said notification and correction system; and a second pipe in fluid communication with the motor and the condenser, wherein an opening of the second pipe providing fluid communication between the second pipe and the motor is unobstructed during operation of said refrigerant powered system; wherein the refrigerant powered system is self-contained.
