Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is increasingly investigated as a viable technology for balancing electricity supply and demand. The main purpose of CAES to overcome the intermittent problem when renewable introduced. However, round-trip efficiency (RTE) system commercially developed still low (around 54 %) requires further improvement. This study proposed novel combined cooling, heating p...

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the characteristics and effects of a PWM inverter on the power supply and overall performance of a capacity controlled refrigeration system employing a positive displacement compressor. The results indicate that the efficiency of variable speed refrigeration systems at part load is severely affected by the poor performance of ...

The dependency on fossil fuels for power generation can be reduced by enhancing the energy efficiency of generating systems. refrigeration systems that typically use electricity consume a significant portion supplied to cities. STAND-ALONE system which consists combined Organic Rankine Cycle and Vapor Compression (ORC-VCR) is analyzed using first law thermodynamics. Dry natural hydrocarbons suc...

This paper describes a multi-evaporator vapor compression model capable of simulating the dynamic behaviour of transport refrigeration systems. A discrete multi-zone control volume approach is utilised for modelling the condenser and evaporators. All other major refrigeration components including compressor, expansion valves, receiver, pressure-regulating valves are modeled using time-dependent...

In order to improve the utilization efficiency of low-temperature heat sources, a new combined cooling and power system using ammonia–water is proposed. The combines Kalina cycle with absorption refrigeration cycle, in which waste serves as source cycle. steady-state mathematical model established detail first, then simulation results design condition are obtained, show that thermal exergy can ...

heat exchangers are the critical components of refrigeration and liquefaction processes. selection of appropriate operational conditions for cryogenic recuperative heat exchanger and expansion valve operating in joule-thomson cooling system results in improving the performance and efficiency. in the current study, a straightforward procedure is introduced to design an efficient joule-thomson co...

We demonstrate quantum-limited electronic refrigeration of a metallic island in a low-temperature microcircuit. We show that matching the impedance of the circuit enables refrigeration at a distance, of about 50 microm in our case, through superconducting leads with a cooling power determined by the quantum of thermal conductance. In a reference sample with a mismatched circuit this effect is a...
