since the energy analysis considers the quantity of energy, it cannot show the performance of the cooling tower. therefore, in order to optimize the performance of the tower and also the process which the cooling tower is a part of it, it is necessary to analyze the energy and exergy of the tower simultaneously. in this paper, the energy and exergy of one of the cooling towers of khuzestan stee...

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 ...

The system design of window air conditioner does not evolve in one day. Due to the continous efforts are taken by the refrigeration and air conditionging professionals, successful and economic models of window air conditioners are currently used. This paper states about the development of window air conditioner with phase change material and water as refrigerants. Developed air conditioner was ...

A solar chimney is designed and tested to pump outside air through an underground cooling tube during summer for building cooling. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the solar chimney can be used to power the underground cooling system during daytime without use of electricity. This paper presents the theoretical design principals of the solar chimney, detailed experim...

Background and Objectives: In the most Iranian hospitals the internal air is cooled by a system comprising centrifugal blower fan and excelsior filters. Because amoeba can be present in air and dust it may enter into filters of cooling systems. It has been suggested that diffusion of amoebae cyst through air canals may contribute to various types of nosocomial infections. This ...

The present paper describes the designing of a thermally and economically optimum mechanical draft counter-flow wet cooling tower. The design model allows the use of a variety of packing materials in the cooling tower toward optimizing heat transfer. Once the optimum packing type is chosen, a compact cooling tower with low fan power consumption is modelled within the known design variables....

A major problems in the operation of laptop computers is overheating since it can affect the performance and stability, sometimes leading to system crash and hardware fatality. The objective of this work was to study the thermal behavior inside a laptop computer and to test the effectiveness of aproposed cooling method to overcome overheating problem. The proposed cooling system contained a the...

one way to increase the shelf life of agriculture products is using of controlled atmosphere storages. in order to obtain the controlled gas components, an equipped cold store with cooling system and atmosphere controller system designed and constructed. the injection of co2, o2 and n2 were controlled automatically into the store by programable logic control (plc). the store was a laboratory re...

The main objective of this investigation was to design and investigate a radiant panel cooling system on small scale building type (office) under the central Sudan climatic conditions so as to explore the benefits of radiant cooling systems over conventional air conditioning systems (Variable air volume systems). Transient heat conduction of building (finite difference method) was used to evalu...
