In this paper, the reasons of damage water pumps parts of the air compressor cooling system were studied. To reach this goal, the works like preparing metallographic samples, evaluation of structure, investigation of mechanical properties, the alloy parts detection and chemical analysis of deposit and corrosion products collected from the parts were performed. According to studies and results o...

Gas turbines incur a loss of output power during hot seasons due to high ambient air temperatures, and input air cooling systems are often used to partly offset this problem. Here, results are reported for an investigation of the utilization of a heat pump to cool the inlet air of a gas turbine compressor. The analyses are carried out for two climates: the city of Yazd, Iran, which has a hot, a...

Using identical mechanical hardware used in an automobile, a stationary test bench has been developed for an automotive air conditioning system (AACS). However, a number of additional sensors have been used in the system for an accurate assessment of its performance. The steady state performance of the system has been investigated for three independent variables, namely the refrigerant charge l...

Air conditioning contributes significantly to building energy consumption in hot climate regions. In addition to greater cooling requirements in hot climates, cooling equipment efficiency decreases with increasing outdoor temperature. Therefore, it is advantageous to develop improved technologies that can achieve higher efficiency at high ambient conditions. In this paper, two novel compression...

Multiple-evaporator/vapor compression cooling systems are used for air conditioning in multi-zone buildings with a refrigerant supplied to each individual zone-evaporator from a central compressor/condenser unit. Such systems, incorporating controlled electronic expansion valves associated to each evaporator and a variable-speed compressor, allow the overall system to be able to operate in diff...

The last decade has seen an increasing awareness that the manner by which a compressor meets the part load conditions of residential air conditioning is a strong dete:cninant of the a.easonal SEER of the air conditioner. The compressor can reSPond to part load needs by cycling if of the single SPeed variety, by cycling between capacity levels if of the multiSPeed variety, by use of internal cap...

A steady-state model for a centralized cooling system is developed to enable proper provisioning of cooling resources in capital intensive projects such as data centers. The model resolves the energy equations for a cooling tower and a centralized water-cooled chiller simultaneously. It requires inputs that are readily available to the design engineer. The user inputs are the ambient conditions...

There are two kinds of dual split type air-conditioner. One is of using two compressors for two indoor units; the other has only one compressor for two indoor units. The EER and refrigerating capacity of the former kind are just the same as the single split type's. But to one compressor dual split type system, there are two working ways: 1. compressor and both two indoor units operating, and 2....

The dynamic testing of a two stage reciprocating air compressor with interand after-cooling during the steady and transient state operation is reported and the encountered problems discussed. Measurements and recordings of the instantaneous temperature and pressure in cylinders, suction and discharge chambers and in the associated pipework and air-coolers were carried out together with the inst...

The adjustment and control mode of frequency conversion for an air-conditioner can make the refrigeration capacity adapt the variety of its load very well. Thus, it has many advantages such as low variety in in-door temperature, short time to reach the wished temperature, low energy consumption, low start electric current and low strike to electric source etc. This mode is widely used in room a...
