Efficiency of Free Cooling Technique in Air Refrigeration Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Free cooling techniques can be used to substantially reduce energy costs. During cold weather, the outside ambient temperature can help in saving energy in refrigeration systems. The low temperature of the cooling ambient air supply enables free cooling technique to store fresh fruits and vegetables. This energy-efficiency measure can save enough compressor electric power to pay for modulating damper installation costs in approximately one year. Free cooling has a motorized damper that conducts the two flows of internal and external air. When the damper is open it takes the air necessary for cooling directly from the exterior, excluding compressor operation. It starts the evaporator fan that takes external air if Texternal < Tinternal. A case study has been carried out for 17 Ton cooling load in a storage room and the COP can be reached to 24 where the only energy consumption is from the use of evaporative fans.

Experimental investigation on the effect of phase change materils (PCM) in solar compression refrigeration cycle efficiency
Saving energy is one of the most important challenges of todaychr('39')s world. Reducing electrical energy consumption in compressed air systems is one of the essential requirements for designing these systems. When using domestic air conditioners (dual air conditioners) in very hot areas (Khuzestan) their performance decreases and electric current consumption increases. Therefore, the use of n...

Solar energy is the highly recognized energy source, capable of fulfilling the world’s future energy demands. The solar photovoltaic technology involves the unmediated transformation of sunlight into electricity. A little fraction is converted into electricity and the remaining gets exhausted as unused heat. This results in an increase in the operating temperature of the PV Panel. The conversio...

The exhaust gases of gas turbine power plant carry a significant amount of thermal energy that is usually expelled to the atmosphere this causes a reduction in net work and efficiency of gas turbine. On the other hand, the generated power and efficiency of gas turbine plants depend largely on the temperature of the inlet air, So that they both increase as the inlet air temperature decreases. Th...
