The thermodynamic and thermo-economics models for three-pressure absorption-ejector hybrid refrigeration system are set up. The thermo-economical analysis model of the system is considered in two cases of high-temperature heat resources: waste heat resources and natural gas fuel are presented. The performances of the system in two modes of the running hours per year (600h and 1000h) are calcula...

Energy is the lifeblood of the modern world. Because of the negative environmental impacts and limited sources of fossil fuels, researchers are increasingly focusing on renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy due to its cleanliness and natural availability. Along with photovoltaic systems, solar thermal energy has been used over the last few decades to meet the refrigeration needs f...

In an attempt to improve the performance of hybrid absorption and mechanical vapor compression refrigeration systems and to determine the fundamental reasons for such improvements, two configurations of the hybrid refrigeration cycle with a booster compressor at different positions of the cycle (between the evaporation and the absorber, or between the generator and the condenser) are simulated ...

There is a need to improve conventional polyolester lubricants that are currently being evaluated as the optimal refrigeration base oil for the alternative refrigerants R41 OA and R407C, which are expected to be designated as the replacement ofHCFC 22. Prior studies show that the conventional polyolesters and other lubricants have poor hydrolysis and solubility. This paper is an introduction to...

Display cases in supermarket systems often exhibit synchronization, in which the expansion valves in the display cases turn on and off at exactly the same time. The study of the influence of switching noise on synchronization in supermarket refrigeration systems is the subject matter of this work. For this purpose, we model it as a hybrid system, for which synchronization corresponds to a perio...

In this paper, an advanced analysis of a novel hybrid compression-absorption refrigeration system (HCARS) for natural gas dew point control unit in a gas refinery is presented. This unit separates the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the natural gas, which is traditionally carried out by natural gas cooling in a compression refrigeration cycle (CRS). The power input required for the refrigeration...

Separation of ethylene from ethane in commercial processes is expensive both in capital and operating costs. This study has evaluated the feasibility of using facilitated transport membrane technology for improving the separation process. Simulation and optimization of various distillation/membrane hybrid configurations as well as stand-alone membrane cascade systems have been examined under di...
