Adjustable throat-area expansion valves (ATAEV) are functioned as area regulator control units. In literatures, there are many expansion valves normally used in automotive air-conditioning systems, as regulator and electrical type valves. Nevertheless, a review study for such issue has not been introduced, according to the best of author knowledge. The present paper presents a review study for ...

In this paper, mini-channel type evaporator which is new in mobile air conditioning (MAC) or automotive air conditioning (AAC) systems is thermally modeled. The performance of mini-channel evaporator is also compared with the laminated evaporator which is being currently used in automotive industries. The mini-channel evaporator was constructed of two rows of parallel flow mini-channel tubes...

Chronic and acute exposure to toxic aerosols belongs to frequent causes of airway diseases. However, asthma attacks due to long-distance inhalative exposure to organic solvents, transmitted via an air condition system, have not been reported so far. The present case illustrates the possibility of air conditioning systems as non-infectious health hazards in occupational medicine. So far, only in...

The system design of window air conditioner does not evolve in one day. Due to the continous efforts are taken by the refrigeration and air conditionging professionals, successful and economic models of window air conditioners are currently used. This paper states about the development of window air conditioner with phase change material and water as refrigerants. Developed air conditioner was ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the cooling performance characteristics of an electrical air conditioning system using R744 as an alternative of R-134a for a fuel cell electric vehicle. In order to analyze the cooling performance characteristics of the air conditioning system using R744 for a fuel cell electric vehicle, an electrical air conditioning system using R744 was develop...

Now a days air conditioning system is the necessity part of human life. The different controllers used for controlling air conditioning system like on-off controllers or PID controllers. But these controllers cannot give the sufficient response and consume high power. This paper aims to control the air conditioning system such that the output temperature of air conditioning systems are getting ...

ir conditioning as we know it, providing thermal comfort by mechanical methods, first appeared in buildings about a hundred years ago. The ability to control temperature, humidity and air purity made urban development possible in the most inhospitable of locations. Together with electric lighting, air conditioning also eliminated restrictions on plan form and fenestration that architects had be...

The effects of task-ambient (TA) air-conditioning systems on the air-conditioning loads in small and large spaces and the thermal comfort of occupants were studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), pedestrian-behavior model, and refrigerating-cycle simulator. Task areas were set up to match with crowdedness as predicted by the pedestrian-behavior simulations. Subsequently, a variety of ...

The energy consumption by heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems forms a large portion of the total energy usage in buildings. Vehicle fuel consumption and emissions are also significantly affected by air conditioning. Air conditioning is also a critical system for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles as the second most energy consuming system after the elec...
