Three evaporators are used to reduce the volume of waste in the waste tank farm at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Evaporators are crucial operation in the SRS waste processing and management system. Using the Aspen Custom Modeler (ACM) software package marketed by Aspen Technology, Inc., the evaporator dynamic flowsheet models have been constructed to simulate the behavior of the evaporator sy...

Experimental investigation on the performance of dual-evaporator refrigeration system with an ejector has been carried out In this study, HFC-134a is chosen as a working fluid. Test setup is composed of compressor, condenser, expansion valves, two evaporators, and ejector which is installed between two evaporators. The condenser and two evaporators are made as concentric counter-flow type heat ...

The performance of various working fluids for automotive air conditioning was calculated using a computer simulation. The model solves for the steady-state performance of a system that consists of a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, either with or without a liquid line/suction l i e interchanger. Condenser and evaporator performance is calculated based of user-defined valu...

During the 1999-crushing season, the Malelane Mill installed vibratory screens after the quadruple effect evaporator. The purpose of the screens was to separate out any residual scale originating from the chemical cleaning of the evaporator vessels. This strategy was adopted after attempts to improve the flush out of the evaporator vessels after chemical cleaning proved ineffective in removing ...

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...

Experimental investigation was done to find the role of capillary tube length and amount of refrigerant charge on the overall heat transfer coefficient in condenser and evaporator and actual COP of a simple vapour compression refrigeration system. It was concluded that increasing of the refrigerant charge in the system largely enhances the overall heat transfer coefficient in the evaporator by ...

In order to dissipate the heat generated by electronic boxes in avionic systems, a copperwater LHP with a flat-oval evaporator was fabricated and tested at steady-state. The LHP consists of a flat shaped evaporator, 7 mm thick, including compensation chamber with attached heat exchanger. The condenser is cooled by forced convection of liquid. The variable parameters are the heat sink and ambien...

Capacity and efficiency of any refrigerating system diminish rapidly as the difference between the evaporating and condensing temperature is increased by reduction in the evaporator temperature. The single stage vapour compression refrigeration system is limited to an evaporator temperature of -40 C. Below temperature of -40 C the either cascade refrigeration system or multi stage vapour compre...

A semi-empirical model for simulating thermal and energy performance of an automotive air-conditioning (AAC) system in passenger vehicles has been developed. The model consists of two sections, namely empirical evaporator correlations and dynamic load simulation. The correlations used consider sensible and latent heat transfer performance of the evaporator coil. The correlations were obtained f...

In space during functioning, a satellite will be heated up due to the behavior of its components such as power electronics. In order to prevent problems in the satellite, this heat has to be released in space thanks to the cooling system. This system consists of a loop heat pipe (LHP), in which a fluid streams through an evaporator and a condenser. In the evaporator, the fluid captures the heat...
