Patent ID: 8776537

Claim:
An air-conditioning system comprising: a compressor that receives a saturated vapor and compresses the saturated vapor into a second vapor having a higher temperature and a higher pressure; a vector component that cools the second vapor discharged from the compressor into a liquid, the vector component including an inner core that includes one or more capillary tubes and an outer shell that is adjacent to the inner core, and the second vapor being routed through the one or more capillary tubes; and a condenser that receives the liquid and routes the liquid through a coil or tubes exposed to a flow of air or water to create a sub-cooled liquid, the liquid rejecting heat from the air-conditioning system and the rejected heat being carried away by the air or the water, and the sub-cooled liquid being discharged from the condenser and being routed to the outer shell of the vector component that is filled with the sub-cooled liquid.
