An ejector expansion transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle is proposed to improve the COP of the basic transcritical CO2 cycle by reducing the expansion process losses. A constant pressure mixing model for the ejector was established to perform the thermodynamic analysis of the ejector expansion transcritical CO2 cycle. The effect of the entrainment ratio and the pressure drop in the receiving ...

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, the saving energy became the one of the most important issues. Especially, saving the electrical power for air-conditioning at summer time is a problem of great urgency. We have been developing the ejector refrigeration system which can improve coefficient of performance of refrigeration systems by converting exhausted expansion energy into useful pressure...

In this study thermodynamic performance analysis of a combined organic Rankine cycle and ejector refrigeration cycle is carried out for use of low-grade heat source in the form of sensible energy. Special attention is paid to the effects of system parameters including the turbine inlet temperature and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of the system such as ratios of mass flow rate, ...

Two-phase ejectors are devices capable of improving the performance of refrigeration and air conditioning cycles by means of expansion work recovery. Ejector studies often focus on the design and performance of the two-phase ejector and the effect it can have on the performance of the ejector cycle. However, the ejector is not the only component of the system that can have a significant influen...

This study presents a theoretical analysis of a new combined cooling, heating, and power cycle by the novel integration of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC), and a heat pump cycle (HPC) for producing cooling output, heating output, and power output simultaneously. Three different working fluids—namely R113, isobutane, and R141b—have been used in power, ref...

in this paper, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the rankin power cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle. this combined cycle produces both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously. this cycle is driven by the flue gas of gas turbines, industrial waste heats, solar energy and geothermal energy. an exergy analysis is performed to guide the th...

the present study analizes a trigeneration system based on an internal combustion engine and a steam ejector refrigeration system from an energy point of view.

The two-phase ejector refrigeration cycle (TPERC) system with a two-throat nozzle ejector was investigated experimentally, and the entrainment ratio of the ejector and the COP of the system were compared with those of the ejector with Laval nozzle and its TPERC system respectively. The experimental results indicate that under the working condition of the evaporating/condensing temperatures 1°C/...

Abstract: The evaluation of the thermodynamic performance of the mutual transformation of different kinds of exergy linked to the intensive thermodynamic parameters of the flow inside the ejector of a refrigeration system is undertaken. Two thermodynamic metrics, exergy produced and exergy consumed, are introduced to assess these transformations. Their calculation is based on the evaluation of ...
