Abstract:
A heating, cooling, and power device includes a shaft and an expander coupled to the shaft to rotate the shaft. A first conduit is coupled to the expander and configured to transport a working fluid. A heater is coupled through the first conduit to the expander. A heat pump is coupled to the shaft. An electric machine is coupled to the shaft to produce electricity or mechanical shaft power. A recuperator includes a second conduit coupled between the expander and recuperator. The heat pump includes a first heat exchanger including a second conduit coupled between the expander and the first heat exchanger. An expansion device includes a third conduit coupled between the first heat exchanger and the expansion device. A second heat exchanger includes a fourth conduit coupled between the expansion device and second heat exchanger. A compressor is coupled to the shaft.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of making a heating, cooling, and power device, comprising:\n coupling a first heater to receive a first working fluid and transfer thermal energy from the first working fluid to a second working fluid; providing a second heater coupled to receive the second working fluid from the first heater and provide additional thermal energy to the second working fluid; coupling an expander to receive the second working fluid from the first heater and second heater; coupling an electrical machine to the expander; mechanically coupling a heat pump to the expander and electrical machine through a shaft; mechanically coupling a clutch to the shaft between the expander and electrical machine; and engaging the clutch to transfer mechanical energy from the expander to the heat pump, wherein the second working fluid includes thermal energy from the first heater and second heater that powers the expander.
