This paper describes a unique refrigeration system that has been developed by McDonnell Aircraft Company. This refrigeration system, known as the Integral Vapor Compression and Liquid coolant (IVCL) system, operates on an innovative thermodynamic cycle that combines refrigeration and liquid coolant heat transport functions.Activities conducted to date on this system include both analytical and empirical investigations. The analytical investigations have consisted of examining the thermodynamics of the new cycle to verify its technical feasibility, and comparing its operating characteristics to those of the conventional mechanical vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Empirical investigations have involved experiments to determine the miscibility of various refrigerant and liquid coolant combinations, testing of mixer and separator configurations, and operation of a complete, small-scale IVCL system demonstrator. Based on the results of these activities, the following conclusions have been drawn:
