Simulation Analysis of a Two Rolling Piston Expander Replacing Throttling Valve in Conventional Refrigerant Heat Pump System
نویسندگان
چکیده
An expander is employed to replace a throttling valve in a heat pump system of the convention order to further improve the efficiency of the system by recovering partial expansion work to dec consume of the system. Due to large expansion ratios of conventional refrigerants, a tw one-stage expand total losses, which are th efficiency efficiently.

Development of a Two-Cylinder Rolling Piston CO2 Expander
Carbon dioxide (CO2) as a natural refrigerant is one candidate alternative to HFC refrigerants. But CO2 system has lower efficiency and is not yet competitive concerning the COP. The most effective method to improve the efficiency of the transcritical CO2 system is to replace the throttling device with an expander. In this paper, a two-cylinder rolling piston expander without inlet valve has be...
متن کاملTo Improve the Performance of a Refrigeration Compressor by Optimizing Piston Stroke and Cylinder Diameter
During the operation of a refrigeration compressor, electric power is transported from electric source to the refrigerant. Since there is a large amount of power required for the operation, it is necessary to save energy through the performance improvement. For this purpose, mathematical models consisting of nonlinear ordinary differential and algebraic equations are developed and applied for t...
متن کاملDevelopment of High-Efficiency Technology of Two-Stage Rotary Expander for CO2 Refrigerant
In order to improve the coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat pump cycle by using carbon dioxide (CO2), an expander that recovers rotation power from the large pressure difference in the cycle to use the power to partially drive the cycle was developed. In the cycle a two stage rotary expander was adopted because the suction control mechanism is not necessary in it. In the development proc...

متن کاملExperimental and Potential Analysis of a Single-Valve Expander for Waste Heat Recovery of a Gasoline Engine
In this paper, a Rankine cycle test system is established to recover exhaust energy from a 2.0 L gasoline engine. Experiments on the system’s performance are carried out under various working conditions. The experimental results indicate that the recovery power of the expander is strongly related to the load and speed of the gasoline engine. It is found that when the output power of the gasolin...
