Passive Energy Air-to-Water Heat Pipe Based Heat Exchanger and its Potential of Air Pre-cooling in Air Conditioning Systems for Iran Climate
Air pre-cooling equipment is normally being employed in air-conditioning systems for pre-cooling the ambient outdoor air to enhance the air-conditioning systems performance. In this study, the potential of a passive water-to-air heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHEX) for air pre-cooling purpose in air-conditioning systems for the high cooling load demanding regions of Iran was investigated. To ...
متن کاملDesigning Fuzzy Controller for Air Conditioning Systems in order to Save Energy Consumption and Provide Optimal Conditions in Closed Environments (Indoors)
Today air conditioning systems have been considered by all people as one of welfarerequirements in buildings and closed environments. Since a considerable part of energy lossoccurs in ordinary modern systems, new strategies and solutions are developed in the field inorder to save amount of energy consumption and observe environmental considerations. Fuzzycontrol is one of these methods which pr...
متن کاملDesign and operation optimization of an air conditioning system through simulation: an hour-by-hour simulation study
In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...
متن کاملTechno-Economic Assessment of Different Inlet Air Cooling Systems in Warm Dry & Wet Climate Stations
Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...
متن کاملSustainability 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...
