Refrigeration is one of the leading uses of electric power in the United States. The term "refrigeration" refers to air-conditioning for homes, businesses, and industry and the operation of refrigerators, freezers, and heat pumps. The technology most often used in refrigeration, the vapor compression cycle, is 100 years old, inefficient, and environmentally unsound. Since the 1980s, the refrige...

The refrigeration cycle with the thro~tling device has moe work power consumption and less refrigeration capacity than tha~ with the expander. It is S':Jggested that substituting the expander for the throttling device in the refrigeration cycle should be the efficient way for saving the energy of the refrigeration system. Up to now, the design and ~anufacturing of the two-phase expander seems t...

a refrigeration cycle is a chain of various pieces of equipment including compressors, condensers, evaporators, and expansion devices each of which takes on a particular thermodynamic process duty in the cycle that eventually results in the production of the required refrigeration. the results of optimized mixed refrigerant cycles (mrcs) in part i show that the configuration of mrc is an effect...

Simultaneous production of fresh water and refrigeration are often required, e.g. in warm-climate waterdeficient regions, and this study is a proposal and analysis of an efficient way of producing both of them by consuming mainly low-grade heat. After introducing the configuration choice methodology, a combined refrigeration and water system, ARHP–MEE (absorption refrigeration heat pump and mul...

In order to achieve both power and cooling supply for users, a new combined cooling and power system using ammonia–water mixture is proposed to utilizing low grade heat sources, such as industrial waste heat, solar energy and geothermal energy. The proposed system combines a Kalina cycle and an ammonia–water absorption refrigeration cycle, in which the ammonia–water turbine exhaust is delivered...
