Performance of Alternative Refrigerants in Heat Pumps and Air Conditioners

In this paper the results of both modeling and testing a representative 3-ton air-to-air heat pump running with the baseline refrigerant (HCFC-22) and zero ODP alternative refrigerants will be presented. Alternative refrigerant simulation runs are made with two pure fluids (HFC-134a and HFC-152a) and an azeotropicmixture (60/40wt%) ofHFC-32 and HFC125 (Allied-Signal Inc. U.S. Patent 4,978,467)....

Fault Detection And Diagnosis For Air Conditioners And Heat Pumps Based On Virtual Sensors

Kim, Woohyun. Ph.D., Purdue University, December 2013. Fault Detection and Diagnosis for Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps based on Virtual Sensors. Major Professor: James E. Braun, School of Mechanical Engineering. The primary goal of this research is to develop and demonstrate an integrated, on-line performance monitoring and diagnostic system with low cost sensors for air conditioning and heat...

On Runs in Independent Sequences

Given an i.i.d. sequence of n letters from a finite alphabet, we consider the length of the longest run of any letter. In the equiprobable case, results for this run turn out to be closely related to the well-known results for the longest run of a given letter. For coin-tossing, tail probabilities are compared for both kinds of runs via Poisson approximation.

Upthrust Problems on Multistage Vertical Turbine Pumps

Vertical turbine pumps are designed to operate with the pump shafts in tension (downthrust). Most pump and motor manufacturers caution users to not operate the vertical turbine pumps at conditions that result in “upthrust.” Upthrust conditions are usually encountered for a few seconds each time the pump is started; however, the pump should not be operated for periods longer than a few seconds i...
