This paper presents a detailed exergetic analysis of a novel high-temperature Solar Assisted Combined Cycle (SACC) power plant. The system includes a solar field consisting of innovative high-temperature flat plate evacuated solar thermal collectors, a double stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller, pumps, heat exchangers, storage tanks, mixers, diverters, controllers and a simple single-pressure Com...

This paper presents experimental results on the shut-down and start-up characteristics of a residential split system R410A air-conditioner with a capillary tube. During shut-down, the transient characteristics are evaluated by measuring the high and low side pressures and temperatures of the system. The dynamic behavior of the system after start-up is also investigated, at the high temperature ...

Today, rapid developments are experienced in terms of energy consumption and efficiency air conditioning systems. Among these systems, waste heat renewable sources used absorption cooling Although the initial investment cost this system is high, operating low due to use heat. In study, effect generator, condenser, absorber evaporator temperatures on performance (COP) systems with single-stage L...

The cooling cores of clusters of galaxies are among the brightest thermal Xray line sources in the universe. High resolution X-ray spectra would allow individual line fluxes to be measured. The fluxes of low ionization X-ray lines in cooling flows should be directly proportional to the cooling rate at relatively cool temperatures, and could be used to determine whether large amounts of gas are ...

To minimize environmental impact and CO2 production associated with air-conditioning system operation, it is reasonable to evaluate the prospects of a clean energy source. Solar energy can drive an absorption chiller in order to satisfy the cooling needs of buildings. The objective of this work is to build a simulation environment that can evaluate accurately the energy consumption of an air co...
