Modeling and Simulation of Refrigeration Cycle for Air Conditioning

A Transcritical Refrigeration Cycle with Carbon Dioxide for Bus Air Conditioning and Transport Refrigeration

The frrst part of this paper presents carbon dioxide air conditioning units which were installed in two city buses. The two buses were tested "on-the-road" during summer 1997 in Bad Hersfeld, Germany. By the end of 1997, the air condition systems of the two buses had been running together for more than 860 hours proving that C02 systems fulfill important on-the-road requirements. In the second ...

Twin Screws of the Future for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

A Review on Developments of Thermoelectric Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems: a Novel Potential Green Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology

In recent years, with the increase awareness towards environmental degradation due to the production, use and disposal of ChloroFluoro Carbons (CFCs) and Hydro Chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) as heat carrier fluids in conventional refrigeration and air conditioning systems has become a subject of great concern and resulted in extensive research into development of novel refrigeration and space cond...

Refrigerant mass migration modeling and simulation for air conditioning systems

Refrigerant mass migration and redistribution are regarded as key factors affecting the cycling perfor­ mance of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. A dynamic model of an R134a automotive air conditioning system is presented as an example in this paper to capture the refrigerant migration during compressor shut-down and start-up operations. Model validation against experimental data dem...

Vapor Compression Cycle Air Conditioning: Design and Transient Simulation

This paper describes the application of the general purpose SINDA/FLUINT thermohydraulic analyzer to the modeling of vapor compression (VC) cycles such as those commonly used in automotive climate control and building HVAC systems. The software is able to simulate transient operation of vapor compression cycles, predicting pressures, coefficients of performance, and condenser/evaporator liquid ...
