Experimental Evaluation of Solar/Gas HybridPowered Absorption Air Conditioning System

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 ...

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...

Thermal modeling of mini-channel and laminated Types evaporator in mobile air conditioning system

In this paper, mini-channel type evaporator which is new in mobile air conditioning (MAC) or automotive air conditioning (AAC) systems is thermally modeled. The performance of mini-channel evaporator is also compared with the laminated evaporator which is being currently used in automotive industries. The mini-channel evaporator was constructed of two rows of parallel flow mini-channel tubes...

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...
