Dynamic models of liquid chillers are gaining importance in recent years as tools for evaluating feedback controllers and to study transient system performance in general. Such system models consist of component models for the heat-exchangers, the compressor and the expansion device. The modeling of the heat-exchangers is particularly significant as they constitute the largest thermal capacitan...

This study constructed a parameter analysis for improving the energy performance of air-cooled water chillers by altering the angle configuration of the condenser coils. The mathematical models for energy and exergy analyses of the individual components and overall system of air-cooled water chillers are presented. This study investigated the potential enhancement of performance efficiency in a...

This paper presents a detailed exergetic analysis of a novel high-temperature Solar Assisted Combined Cycle (SACC) power plant. The system includes a solar field consisting of innovative high-temperature flat plate evacuated solar thermal collectors, a double stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller, pumps, heat exchangers, storage tanks, mixers, diverters, controllers and a simple single-pressure Com...

Solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems are currently attracting attention, especially in times of increasing energy prices supply crises. In lower prices, absorption SHC were not competitive to compression supported by photovoltaic (PV) modules due the high investment costs total efficiency. This paper aims discuss current changes terms feasibility application a small system mild Mediterranean...

This paper presents an engineering application of optimization method for energy conservation in condenser water loop operation in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems. Based on the analysis of component model characteristics and interactions within the cooling tower and between towers and chillers, an objective function, which minimizes the operating costs through optimal s...

Genetic Algorithms are employed to optimize the selection of chiller size in a multi-chiller central plant for arbitrary cooling load profiles. The objective of the optimization is to minimize life cycle (capital + operating) costs while keeping all chillers running in good part load conditions to avoid any surge of chillers. The approach has the capability of solving the combinatorial optimiza...

Component and subsystem models used to evaluate the performance of a low-lift cooling system are described. An air-cooled chiller, a hydronic radiant distribution system, variable-speed control, and peak-shifting controls are modeled. A variable-speed compressor that operates over 20:1 speed range and pressure ratios ranging from one to six is at the heart of the chiller. Condenser fan and chil...

The current study was conducted to investigate the optimum stunning voltage and chilling regime with emphasis on reduction in pale, soft and exudative (PSE) pork. The experiments were conducted at seven Korean major pig abattoirs using a total of 91,082 industrial population. Frequencies of PSE meat was found to be significantly (p<0.05) increased as stunning voltage was elevated from 220-240 (...
