Performance of a dehumidifying compression heat pump with auxiliary heat input

Experiments are carried out on a R114 dehumidifying heat pump installed in a closed circuit drying tunnel. The influence of auxiliary heat input before condenser and/or evaporator are studied. Actual coefficient of performance varied from about 2 to 3. Studies throw light on the significance of the location of the auxiliary heat input in the drying circuit. It is observed that the dryer temperature could be controlled within certain limits using the low grade heat input before the condenser or evaporator. This could substitute high temperature heat conventionally input after the condenser. This is also significant if the same dryer has to be used for drying different materials which require different drying temperatures.

Coupling a two-stage absorption heat transformer with finite heat sources and sinks

The coupling among a two-stage heat transformer (TSHT) and finite heat sources and sinks is considered. A novel configuration is proposed, in which the evaporator of the second stage is fed both by the absorber of the first stage and by the external source. A lumped-parameter mathematical model is used to compute the performance of the proposed TSHT. It has been found that the range of applicability is widened, when compared with the usual configuration. Moreover, the use of a two-stage apparatus allows one to noticeably increase the performance compared with that obtainable with a simpler single-stage transformer. Thus, it is possible to increase the output heat and/or the user temperature, to reduce the discharge temperature, or to use lower quality energy sources. The results also allow one to draw some more general conclusions on the applicability of absorption heat transformers of different configurations, when different heat sources/sinks are considered.

Flow patterns and heat-transfer characteristics of a top heat mode closed-loop oscillating heat pipe with check valves (THMCLOHP/CV)

The aim of this research was to investigate the flow patterns and heat transfer of a top heat mode closed-loop oscillating heat pipe with check valves (THMCLOHP/CV). In this study, the heat pipe was made of a high-quality glass capillary tube with an inner diameter of 2.4 mm bent into 10 meandering turns. The number of check valves was 2 and the tube was filled with R141b at a filling ratio of 50% of internal volume of the tube. The combined lengths of the evaporator, adiabatic and condenser sections were equal to 50 mm. The pipe was operated at the top heat mode, and the angles of inclination were 20°, 40°, 60°, 80°, and 90°. The heat applied at the evaporator section was controlled at 85°Cto 105°C, and 125°C. The results show that in the evaporator section, bubbles are produced and grow as a result of the continuous nucleate boiling. They coalesced and their volume expanded. Similarly, in the condenser section the vapor plug condensate caused the bubbles to collapse and accumulate as a liquid mass at the lower section of the U-bend tube. A new slug then developed and the bubbles coalesced in an upward flow. Heat flux increased when the evaporator temperature and inclination angle increased causing the average length of the vapor plug to decrease and the average velocity of vapor plug to increase. The maximum heat flux occurred at an evaporator temperature of 125°C and an inclination angle of minus 90°.     

Investigation of the performance of a heat pump under frosting and defrosting conditions

This paper investigates the effects of frosting and defrosting the evaporator coil on the performance of domestic size air-to-water heat pump systems. The results show that the degradation in the COP caused by frosting and defrosting is dependent upon the ambient conditions and the duration of the frosting period. Optimum performance can be obtained by implementing defrost control strategies based on real time performance data on a microprocessor based control system.     

Waste heat recovery using looped heat pipes for air cooling

A scheme is described for the recovery of waste heat from stacks of gas turbine engines and the utilization of recovered energy for the cooling of ambient air. Relationships are summarized for the modeling of components of the cooling system. Samples are presented from performance data that is predicted by the model. Effect of size and design of system components, as well as operational variables on system performance, are discussed. It is concluded that the single most significant variable in the design of the looped heat-pipe recovery and utilization system is the geometry of the exhaust pipe of the gas turbine engine. Accordingly it is suggested that a design for the exhaust pipe of a gas turbine must consider the effects of (a) the variation of velocity of exhaust gases at different exhaust inlet temperatures, and the consequent pressure drops in the exhaust chimney pipe, and (b) the length of the exhaust pipe. The latter essentially determines the length of the heat pipe evaporator. Furthermore, the temperature drop through the air cooler is also significant, since this also influences system performance.

Thermal modelling and energy conservation studies on freon rankine cycle cooling system with regenerative heat exchanger

This communication presents a thermodynamic analysis and assessment of a Freon fluid Rankine cycle cooling system. The system consists of two subsystems—Rankine engine (RE) power cycle and a vapour compression (V-C) refrigeration cycle. The heat engine subsystem consists of a boiler, turbine, condenser and a feed pump while the cooling subsystem consists of a mechanical compressor, condenser, evaporator and an expansion valve. A number of working fluid combinations for the RE cycle and V-C cycle subsystems have been chosen on the basis of their thermodynamic properties and their suitability judged in terms of the performance parameters, namely, the thermal efficiency of the power cycle and the coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigeration cycle. A regenerative heat exchanger (RHE) is incorporated in the RE cycle to improve the cycle efficiency and achieve energy conservation.The effects of various operation parameters, namely, component temperatures, adiabatic expansion/compression efficiencies and effectiveness of the RHE on the overall COP have been assessed. It is found that R114 + R22 give the best overall system performance and the presence of the RHE improves the system COP significantly. The effect of V-C cycle condenser temperature is more pronounced as compared to that of the RE cycle condenser and similarly the effect of evaporator temperature in the V-C cycle is more pronounced as compared to that of the boiler in the Rankine cycle subsystem.
