Abstract
This research proposes a novel solar-assisted vapor injection ejector-enhanced cycle (SVI-EEC). The energy, exergy, and exergo-economic modelings of SVI-EEC are conducted in this study and compared with the modified solar-assisted vapor injection ejector-enhanced cycle (SE-MVIC) and the flash tank vapor injection cycle (FVIC). In addition, the performance of several low-GWP refrigerant mixtures (R13I1/R152a,R13I1/R161 and R13I1/R32), is investigated to advance the replacement of HFC refrigerants.The simulation results show that for the same compressor inlet mass flow, the of SVI-EEC is improved by 6.9% and 29.7% compared to SE-MVIC and FVIC, respectively. The and of R13I1/R152a at optimum injection pressure increased by 1.94% and 5.49%, respectively, compared to R134a. In summary, the proposed SVI-EEC system has excellence in performance and application potential, while R13I1/R152a has the potential to replace R134a.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
