Abstract

An apparatus includes a separator tank, a heat exchanger, a compressor-less heat separator, and a fluid cooler. The separator tank separates a first refrigerant into a vapor component and a liquid component. The heat exchanger is exposed to a load. The heat exchanger uses the liquid component of the first refrigerant to remove heat from a space proximate the load. The space includes at least one of a refrigeration unit and walk-in cooler or freezer. The compressor-less heat separator extracts heat from the vapor component of the first refrigerant and uses electrical power to move the heat to a second refrigerant. The fluid cooler removes heat from the second refrigerant.
