A thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes a primary vapor compression system including a primary evaporator defining thermal communication between a primary refrigerant and a flow of fuel to cool the fuel. A boost vapor compression system includes a boost heat exchanger defining thermal communication between the primary refrigerant. A boost refrigerant cools the primary refrigerant and a boost condenser in thermal communication with an air stream cools the boost refrigerant.

A refrigeration cycle device includes an outside evaporator, an inside evaporator, an evaporating pressure adjusting valve, a charging port, a pressure change buffer. The outside evaporator exchanges heat between a refrigerant flowing out of a heater and an outside air. The inside evaporator exchanges heat between the refrigerant flowing out of the outside evaporator and a heat-exchange target medium. The evaporating pressure adjusting valve is disposed at a position downstream of the inside evaporator and adjusts an evaporating pressure of the refrigerant in the inside evaporator. The charging port is disposed at a position downstream of the evaporating pressure adjusting valve. The pressure change buffer is disposed between the evaporating pressure adjusting valve and the charging port and defines a buffer space.

A method for controlling a vapour compression system having an ejector includes, in the case that a pressure difference between a pressure prevailing in the receiver and a pressure of refrigerant leaving the evaporator decreases below a first lower threshold value, the pressure of refrigerant leaving the heat rejecting heat exchanger is kept at a level which is slightly higher than the pressure level providing optimal coefficient of performance.

A method and system for circulating combined cooling, heating and power with a jet cooling device. An outlet of a working medium pump which is used to pressurize liquid working medium is connected to an inlet of a heater. An outlet of the heater is connected to an inlet of an expansion component. An outlet of the expansion component is connected to an inlet of a cooler. An outlet of the cooler is connected to a primary inlet of a jetting device. Primary outlets of the jetting device are respectively connected to an inlet of the working medium pump and an inlet of a throttle valve. An outlet of the throttle valve is connected to an inlet of an evaporator. An outlet of the evaporator and a gaseous outlet of the jetting device are both connected to an inlet of a pressurization component.

An ejector includes a body including an inflow space into which a refrigerant flows, a passage formation member disposed inside the body and having a conical shape, and a nozzle passage having an annular cross section functioning as a nozzle and a diffuser passage having an annular cross section functioning as a pressurizing portion between an inner wall surface of the body and a conical lateral surface of the passage formation member. A drive mechanism that displaces the passage formation member along a center axis is coupled to an upstream actuating bar which extends from the passage formation member toward the inflow space and is slidably supported by the body. A largest outer diameter portion of an annular member forming a wall surface of the nozzle passage provides a throat portion functioning as an edge for enlarging a passage cross-sectional area to cause a separation vortex in the refrigerant.
