Analysis of a novel refrigeration Carnot-type cycle based on isothermal vapour compression

The energy and exergy analysis of a novel cogeneration organic Rankine power and two-stage compression refrigeration cycle

The energy crisis in recent years has led to the use of thermodynamic cycles that work based on renewable energies. Low-temperature cycles—such as organic cycles—are suitable strategies for the application of renewable energies. The present study proposes a novel cycle through the integration of a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle with a combined Rankine power and ejector refrigerat...

Thermodynamic analysis of vapour compression refrigeration system using alternative refrigerants

This research is aimed to define , (1) the effects of refrigerant to the environment, (2) derive the eco friendly refrigerants by using software REFPROP, (3) describe the properties of refrigerant by mixing them in appropriate percentage, (4) reducing GWP and ODP by providing suitable substitute of CFC’s and HCFC’s refrigerants, (5) reducing the effect of refrigerant to the ODP. This analysis i...

Experimental investigation on the effect of phase change materils (PCM) in solar compression refrigeration cycle efficiency

Saving energy is one of the most important challenges of todaychr('39')s world. Reducing electrical energy consumption in compressed air systems is one of the essential requirements for designing these systems. When using domestic air conditioners (dual air conditioners) in very hot areas (Khuzestan) their performance decreases and electric current consumption increases. Therefore, the use of n...

Dynamical modeling and thermo-economic optimization of a cold room assisted vapor-compression refrigeration cycle

A cold room assisted vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is dynamically modeled in a year and optimized. Total annual cost (TACO) and coefficient of performance (COP) are selected as two objective functions. Both cold room and refrigeration cycle parameters are considered as design variables. Moreover, three working fluids included R22, R134a and R407c are examined. The optimum Pareto front r...
