Fully Fresh Air Air-conditioning System Equipped with Double Heat Pipe Based Heat Recovery Technology

The using of double heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHX) in a conventional fully fresh air air-conditioning (AC) system was examined in the present study. The fabricated HPHXs were tested under the actual conditions and the measured data were used to study the performance of the existing AC system (System A) and AC system equipped with the double HPHX (System B) for a yearly operation through ...

Geothermal- And Solar Assisted Air Conditioning System

A research project of the Hamburg University of Technology realizes an open cycle desiccant assisted air conditioning system based on renewable heat sources e.g. solar thermal and heat sinks e.g. shallow geothermal energy. Both advantages of the open cycle process are taken into account, the possible use of a heat sink at higher temperatures and the use of low calorific heat. Moreover, the tota...

Sustainability of Automobile Air- Conditioning System Using Refrigerant R1234yf Instead of R134a

Air conditioning refrigerant R134a has value of global warming potential (GWP) 1300, which is much higher than MAC Directive (GWP below 150) passed in July 2006. This prompted a search for alternative refrigerant with GWP value less than 150. R1234yf is a new refrigerant which has lower GWP value of 4. Effect of blower speed has been compared and flammability issue of R1234yf has been addre...

Performance Comparison of Temperature and Humidity Independent Control Air-conditioning System and the Conventional Air-conditioning System

This article introduces two system models to simulate the energy performance of the temperature and humidity independent control air-conditioning system (THICS) and the conventional airconditioning system (CAS). The energy performance comparison includes three parts of cooling resource, transportation system and terminal devices. A typical office building with these two different systems is num...
