The temperature of an electronics device rises fairly linearly with increasing device heat flux. This relationship is especially problematic for defense electronics, where heat dissipation is projected to exceed 1000W/cm in the near future. This paper study explored the benefit of cooling the electronics device using indirect refrigeration cooling system .In this system the heat sink in a prima...

Mollenberg-Betz was founded in 1910 by Henry J. Mollenberg and Jacob Betz as a machine shop serving nearby shipping, steel mills, and other industries. Early on, the founders were asked to design and install a refrigeration system for a dairy, and for several decades the company designed and manufactured custom refrigeration systems for a variety of industrial and commercial customers. During t...

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...

This review discusses the progress and ongoing efforts in optical refrigeration. Optical refrigeration is a process in which phonons are removed from a solid by anti-Stokes fluorescence. The review first summarizes the history of optical refrigeration, noting the success in cooling rare-earth-doped solids to cryogenic temperatures. It then examines in detail a four-level model of rare-earth-bas...

The interest in application of secondary refiigerant systems in supermarket refrigeration is increasing. Reduced refrigerant losses i and the chance for lower installation and operation costs is promoting this development. There are also !options to use natural refrigerants, more efficient refrigerants and gas or waste heat driven absorption proc;esses. First installations of secondary refriger...

The capillary tube/suction line heat exchanger (SLHX) is widely used in small refrigeration systems. The refrigerant flowing in the SLHX experiences frictional and accelerational head losses, flashing, and heat transfer simultaneously. The simulation of refrigerant flow through SLHX is important since this will help engineers analyze and optimize the SLHX incorporated in a refrigeration system....

In this paper a model for the performance prediction and optimization of air coolers for indirect refrigeration systems is presented. The model applies for finned rube air coolers operating under frosting conditions and considers the transient heat and mass transfer between humid air and air cooler surfaces. The model is extended with an energy consumption analysis for the compression refrigera...

This paper attends to demonstrate the usefulness of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in magnetic refrigeration (MR) understanding and optimization. A numerical DOE is applied to a simple 1D finite difference model describing an Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigeration (AMRR) system. The heat transfer fluid is water, the regenerator consists of stacked gadolinium plates and the model is base...

Compressor is the single largest consumer of primary energy (usually electricity) in an industrial refrigeration system and often become a focal point for energy efficiency improvement strategies. This is achieved either through the improvement of existing compressor designs, or by the introduction of new designs that is expected to overcome the drawbacks of existing compressors. This paper pre...
