Exergetic performance of vapor-compression refrigeration system with TiO2-nanoadditive in the compressor oil

Performance of Vapor Compression Systems with Compressor Oil Flooding and Regeneration

Vapor compression refrigeration technology has seen great improvement over the last several decades in terms of cycle efficiency through a concerted effort of manufacturers, regulators, and research engineers. As the standard vapor compression systems approach practical limits, cycle modifications should be investigated to increase system efficiency and capacity. One possible means of increasin...

Saving Energy by Exergetic Analysis of MTP Process Refrigeration System

The exergetic analysis is a tool that has been used successfully in many studies aiming a more rational energy consumption to reduce the cost of processes. With this analysis, it is possible to perform an evaluation of the overall process, locating and quantifying the degradation of exergy. This paper applies exergy approach for analyzing the heat exchanger network design and refrigeration of M...

Performance of High Pressure Air Cycle in Comparison With Synthetic and Natural Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycles

Concerning the use of HFCs as substitutes for CFCs and HCFCs a major concern in applications with remarkable leakages of refrigerant is its contribution to global warming. Therefore, the attention has been drawn to the use of natural working fluids, like carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, water and air. Air had been already used in the range of air conditioning technology. Air as refrigerants is sta...

Design Optimization of an Oil-Flooded Refrigeration Single Screw Compressor

A single screw compressor is usually sealed by means of its tiny clearances. The theoretical research and the practice application shown that the leakage in the working process is always the key factor influencing the performance of this kind of compressor. Besides meeting the need of lubrication, the oil injection can greatly improve the sealing effect. It is obvious that the reduction of clea...
