The ongoing integration of renewable energy into power grids is driving a transition towards distributed and multi-source energy frameworks in building energy systems. Solar-assisted heat pumps, as the emerging distributed multi-source heating systems, face persistent challenges including operating instability, seasonal limitations, and complex control requirements. To address these shortcomings, this study develops a novel integrated unglazed solar-air dual-source heat pump (USAHP) system. The system synergistically harnesses dual renewable energy sources by incorporating high-efficiency finned tubes with absorbing coating and reflectors into a compound solar air collector-evaporator. The integration could maximize evaporator output within a constrained area. Experimental investigations are conducted to evaluate and analyze the system performance, specifically examining the effects of operating parameters and collector-evaporator configuration on thermal collection efficiency. Results demonstrate that among three key parameters, solar irradiance and ambient air temperature exert significantly positive influences on system performance, while relative humidity exhibits weak correlation. The reflector-equipped collector-evaporator enhances solar irradiance absorption by 27–54 %. The proposed USAHP achieves superior frost suppression and enhanced energy efficiency by elevating the evaporation temperature. The evaporation temperature of USAHP increases by up to 3.2 °C under experimental conditions, and COP improves by up to 19.3 % compared to conventional air-source and solar-air assisted heat pump systems. Furthermore, a payback period of 3.18 years demonstrates the economic viability of USAHP. This research represents key advancement in frost mitigation mechanisms and demonstrates substantial improvements in energy efficiency, thereby advancing heat pump technology for multi-source energy applications.
可再生能源与电网的持续整合正在推动建筑能源系统向分布式和多源能源框架的过渡。太阳能热泵作为新兴的分布式多源供热系统,面临着运行不稳定性、季节性限制和复杂控制要求等长期存在的挑战。为了解决这些缺点,本研究开发了一种新型集成无釉太阳能-空气双源热泵(USAHP)系统。该系统通过将高效翅片管与吸收涂层和反射器结合到复合太阳能空气收集器-蒸发器中,协同利用双重可再生能源。集成可以在有限的区域内最大化蒸发器输出。实验研究对系统性能进行了评估和分析,具体考察了运行参数和集热器-蒸发器配置对集热效率的影响。结果表明,在三个关键参数中,太阳辐照度和环境温度对系统性能有显著的正向影响,相对湿度对系统性能有弱相关。配备反射器的集热器-蒸发器提高了27 - 54%的太阳辐照度吸收量。所提出的USAHP通过提高蒸发温度实现了优越的抑霜和提高的能源效率。在实验条件下,USAHP的蒸发温度提高了3.2°C,与传统的空气源和太阳能-空气辅助热泵系统相比,COP提高了19.3%。此外,3.18年的投资回收期证明了USAHP的经济可行性。这项研究代表了霜冻缓解机制的关键进展,并证明了能源效率的实质性改进,从而推进了多源能源应用的热泵技术。

To address the challenges of high energy consumption during winter heating and limited driving range in electric vehicles, a transcritical CO2 secondary throttling heat pump system, which integrates an internal heat exchanger and dual expansion valves, is proposed in this study. By optimizing the dual indoor heat exchangers and a staged throttling, the refrigerant heat exchange efficiency of the system within the heating cycle is enhanced. A 1D thermal management simulation model incorporating both cabin and battery is first developed, whose accuracy is demonstrated to be quite satisfactory by comparing numerical results with experimental data. Subsequently, a comparative analysis between the secondary throttling system and a conventional heat pump reveals a heating capacity increase of 50.88 % at 0 °C. Further parametric studies are conducted under varying valve openings, indoor/outdoor airflow rates, and compressor speeds, demonstrating that the coordinated control of dual EXVs effectively regulates the intermediate pressure. Additionally, airflow parameters and compressor speed significantly influence overall system performance. Under optimized operating conditions, the system achieves significant improvements in both heating capacity and coefficient of performance, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed design. This investigation provides a viable technical pathway for optimizing CO2 heat pump air conditioning systems.

Conventional data center air-conditioners consume excessive energy. Rack-level hybrid cooling systems combining a pump-driven heat pipe (PHP) and a vapor-compression (VC) cycle provide a promising alternative but often encounter refrigerant starvation in evaporators. Therefore, we previously proposed a novel rack-level hybrid cooling system adopting gas–liquid separation in all modes and a subcooler. However, prior work studied its energy efficiency ratio (EERcp) only at fixed vapor quality, leaving key operating characteristics unexplored. To address these gaps, this paper experimentally investigated the novel system’s response characteristics under varying vapor quality, condenser-side disturbances, and non-uniform cooling loads, including variations in mode-switching temperatures, EERcp, and refrigerant state. Experiments were conducted on a prototype setup with five plate heat exchangers representing rack-level evaporators, at evaporating temperatures of 23.5–24.0 °C to match the ASHRAE-recommended 27 °C server room. Results show that reducing the evaporator outlet vapor quality from 0.76 to 0.58 decreased EERcp by 13–30 %, shifted mode-switching temperatures by 2–4 °C, and increased evaporator inlet subcooling by 1.6–2.9 °C. The 6 °C disturbances in the condenser inlet water temperature (Tcon,win) caused transient fluctuations in evaporator inlet subcooling, yet it still remained above 0 °C to maintain the flow distribution among evaporators. Under severe non-uniform cooling loads, the system effectively prevented local hotspots, with EERcp decreasing by only 0.1–0.2 in vapor-compressor-driven and hybrid-driven modes, and remaining 127 in liquid-pump-driven mode. Although based on prototype experiments, these findings provided useful insights into strategies for operating the novel system in practical applications.
传统数据中心空调能耗大。结合泵驱动热管(PHP)和蒸汽压缩(VC)循环的机架级混合冷却系统提供了一个有前途的替代方案,但经常遇到蒸发器中的制冷剂短缺。因此,我们之前提出了一种新型的机架级混合冷却系统,采用所有模式的气液分离和一个过冷却器。然而,之前的工作只研究了固定蒸汽质量下的能效比(EERcp),而没有探索关键的工作特性。为了解决这些问题,本文通过实验研究了该系统在不同蒸汽质量、冷凝器侧扰动和非均匀冷却负荷下的响应特性,包括模式切换温度、EERcp和制冷剂状态的变化。实验在一个原型装置上进行,其中有5个板式换热器代表机架级蒸发器,蒸发温度为23.5-24.0°C,以匹配ashrae推荐的27°C服务器机房。结果表明,当蒸发器出口蒸汽质量从0.76降低到0.58时,EERcp降低13 ~ 30%,模式切换温度升高2 ~ 4℃,蒸发器进口过冷度升高1.6 ~ 2.9℃。冷凝器进水温度(Tcon,win)的6℃扰动引起蒸发器进口过冷度的瞬态波动,但仍保持在0℃以上,以维持蒸发器之间的流量分配。在严重的非均匀冷却负荷下,系统有效地防止了局部热点,在蒸汽压缩机驱动和混合驱动模式下,EERcp仅降低了0.1-0.2,在液泵驱动模式下,EERcp仍降低了127。尽管基于原型实验,这些发现为在实际应用中操作新系统的策略提供了有用的见解。

A major challenge in designing and evaluating thermodynamic cycles that include compression processes lies in accurately estimating compressor efficiency. To obtain reliable efficiency assumptions, the compressors would need to be at least partially designed. To simplify compressor design for given stationary cycle parameters, this study introduces a novel inverse design method that enables direct determination of the maximum achievable compressor internal isentropic efficiency (“process maps”) and the corresponding optimal machine parameters (e.g., number of stages, rotor geometry, internal volume ratio) based on a specified set of dimensionless cycle parameters. To ensure broad applicability, both positive displacement compressors (twin-screw compressors) and centrifugal compressors are considered, and corresponding “process maps” of the best possible efficiencies are developed. For positive displacement machines, the inverse design approach becomes feasible for the first time, as traditional methods implicitly constrain the design through empirical parameters such as delivery rate. Moreover, for centrifugal compressors within the ”process maps” developed in this study, the number of stages is inherently represented – enabling a fully inverse machine design without prior stage definition. This provides a new means of determining the optimal stage configuration directly from the cycle parameters.
设计和评估包括压缩过程在内的热力学循环的主要挑战在于准确估计压缩机的效率。为了获得可靠的效率假设,压缩机至少需要部分设计。为了简化给定平稳循环参数的压缩机设计,本研究引入了一种新的逆设计方法,该方法可以根据一组指定的无因次循环参数直接确定可实现的最大压缩机内部等熵效率(“工艺图”)和相应的最佳机器参数(例如,级数,转子几何形状,内部体积比)。为了确保广泛的适用性,考虑了正排量压缩机(双螺杆压缩机)和离心式压缩机,并制定了相应的最佳效率“流程图”。对于正位移机械,由于传统方法通过交付率等经验参数隐含地约束了设计,因此逆设计方法首次变得可行。此外,对于本研究中开发的“工艺图”中的离心式压缩机,级数固有地表示-无需事先定义级即可实现完全反向的机器设计。这提供了一种直接从循环参数确定最佳阶段配置的新方法。

The integration of solar-driven ejector refrigeration cycles with conventional vapor-compression refrigeration cycles (VCRC) offers significant potential for energy conservation in air-conditioning systems. To enhance VCRC performance, this study proposes a solar-assisted hybrid ejector-compression refrigeration cycle (ECRC) that employs a subcooler to couple the ejector cycle with the VCRC, using the low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant R290. The ECRC employs a solar-driven ejector cycle to enhance the primary vapor compression cycle by increasing the subcooling degree, thereby improving system performance. This work theoretically investigates the ECRC performance compared to the standard VCRC via a comprehensive 4E (energy, exergy, economic, environmental) analysis. Results show that at the optimal intermediate temperature, optimized via the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, the ECRC achieves a 9.0 % improvement in coefficient of performance (COP) and a 15.1 % increase in volumetric cooling capacity (Qev) over the VCRC. Exergy analysis reveals that the generator accounts for approximately 47.4 % of total exergy destruction, indicating optimization potential. Economically, the ECRC reduces exergy production cost by 7.9–12.7 %, demonstrating better returns. Environmentally, the ECRC with R290 cuts carbon emissions by 7.90 % compared to the VCRC. Overall, the ECRC exhibits strong potential for sustainable air-conditioning applications.

Data center cooling accounts for a substantial fraction of facility energy consumption, with environmental pressures driving the transition from high-GWP refrigerants to sustainable alternatives. However, rigorous experimental comparisons of next-generation refrigerants under realistic operational conditions remain limited, and existing benchmarking protocols often fail to account for ambient variability across test conditions. This study addresses these gaps by conducting a comprehensive experimental evaluation of an in-rack air-conditioning unit, comparing the conventional refrigerant R410A with the low-GWP alternative R454B (GWP = 466) across 24 tests spanning varied server loads and thermal conditions. The methodology integrates a transparent steady-state detection algorithm for time-series measurement processing, normalized Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) calculations at fixed reference conditions to enable equitable cross-test comparison, and sensitivity analyses quantifying the influence of ambient and evaporator-side temperatures on system performance. Cooling capacity, raw and normalized EER, facility-level Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) were derived for each refrigerant. Results demonstrate that R454B exhibits load-dependent performance advantages: under high-load conditions (9 kW), R454B achieved 38 % higher EER (∼5.8 vs. ∼4.2) and superior cooling capacity (13 kW vs. 9.5 kW median) compared to R410A, with reduced operational variability. However, under supply-air matched baseline conditions (16–20 °C), both refrigerants exhibited equivalent performance, confirming that R454B's efficiency gains emerge primarily under elevated thermal stress and higher refrigerant flow rates. PUE analysis showed equivalent facility-level efficiency, enabling R454B as a direct drop-in replacement.

数据中心冷却占设施能源消耗的很大一部分,环境压力推动了从高gwp制冷剂向可持续替代品的转变。然而,在实际操作条件下对下一代制冷剂进行严格的实验比较仍然有限,现有的基准测试协议往往无法考虑测试条件下的环境变化。本研究通过对机架式空调机组进行全面的实验评估,将常规制冷剂R410A与低GWP替代R454B (GWP = 466)进行了24次测试,涵盖了不同的服务器负载和热条件,从而解决了这些差距。该方法集成了用于时间序列测量处理的透明稳态检测算法,固定参考条件下的归一化能效比(EER)计算,以实现公平的交叉测试比较,以及量化环境温度和蒸发器侧温度对系统性能影响的敏感性分析。每种制冷剂的制冷量、原始和标准化EER、设施级功率使用效率(PUE)和总等效变暖影响(TEWI)均得到了推导。结果表明,R454B具有负载相关的性能优势:与R410A相比,在高负载条件下(9 kW), R454B的EER比R410A高38% (~ 5.8 vs. ~ 4.2),冷却能力更强(13 kW vs. 9.5 kW中值),同时降低了运行变异性。然而,在送风匹配的基线条件下(16-20°C),两种制冷剂表现出相同的性能,这证实了R454B的效率提高主要是在更高的热应力和更高的制冷剂流量下实现的。PUE分析显示,R454B具有相同的设施级效率,可以直接替代R454B。TEWI分析显示,间接排放主导了气候影响(> 90%),将运行效率优化作为主要的环境杠杆,制冷剂选择通过降低全球升温潜能值提供次要效益。这些发现支持在高负载数据中心环境中采用R454B,而透明的方法框架为关键任务冷却系统的状态感知制冷剂评估提供了可重复的基准。

Closed-cycle cryostats are widely employed in quantum precision measurement and superconducting quantum computing, where vibration and temperature stability critically affect performance. Gifford–McMahon (GM) cryocoolers, widely used as cold sources, suffer from low-frequency mechanical vibrations and cold head temperature fluctuations, which limit their applicability in precision experiments. To address this challenge, a helium gas heat-exchange chamber was proposed, fully enclosing the GM cold head to eliminate the rigid mechanical connection and enable heat transfer through helium. By employing helium as a non-rigid thermal transfer medium, the chamber enables efficient heat conduction while simultaneously attenuating vibration noise. In this study, the vibration isolation and thermal conduction characteristics of the helium gas heat exchange chamber were systematically investigated. Experimental results show that the chamber effectively isolates the 60 μm peak-to-peak vibration of the GM second-stage cold head, reducing the transmitted vibration to about 400 nm, while maintaining efficient thermal conduction. A minimum temperature of 3.4 K was achieved, with temperature fluctuations suppressed to 0.02 K. These results confirm the dual role of the helium gas heat exchange chamber in vibration isolation and thermal stabilization, providing valuable guidance for the design and optimization of low-vibration closed-cycle cryostats.
闭环低温恒温器广泛应用于量子精密测量和超导量子计算中,振动和温度稳定性对其性能有重要影响。吉福德-麦克马洪(Gifford-McMahon, GM)低温制冷机作为冷源被广泛应用,但其存在低频机械振动和冷头温度波动等问题,限制了其在精密实验中的适用性。为了解决这一挑战,设计了氦气换热室,完全封闭GM冷头,以消除刚性机械连接,并通过氦气进行传热。通过采用氦气作为非刚性传热介质,该腔室实现了高效的热传导,同时减弱了振动噪声。本文对氦气换热室的隔振和导热特性进行了系统的研究。实验结果表明,该腔室有效隔离了GM二级冷头60 μm的峰间振动,在保持高效热传导的同时,将传递振动减小到400 nm左右。最低温度为3.4 K,温度波动被抑制在0.02 K。这些结果证实了氦气换热室在隔振和热稳定方面的双重作用,为低振动闭式低温恒温器的设计和优化提供了有价值的指导。

As an environmentally benign natural refrigerant, air has emerged as a promising alternative for sustainable refrigeration systems, where the expander-compressor performance represents the critical limiting factor. This paper proposes a coupled design method for compressors and expanders in air refrigeration cycles, featuring identical pressure ratios, flow similarity, and high-efficiency operation across all working conditions. The imperialist competitive algorithm was implemented with annual system efficiency as the objective function to optimize the turboexpander-compressor. Experimental validation confirms the accuracy of the one-dimensional loss model and computational fluid dynamics simulation, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed methodology. Under summer conditions of Beijing (2023), the designed system achieves an average turboexpander-compressor system efficiency of 2.759. Results indicate that the ratio of pressure ratio between the compressor and expander remains within 0.9–1.05, satisfying the identical pressure ratio design requirement. The system maintains high efficiency even under peak cooling demand, effectively mitigating performance degradation in high-load scenarios.

This study presents experimental analyses of liquid density and bubble-point pressure for binary mixtures of R-290 and POE ISO 32 lubricating oil between 283.15 and 343.15 K. Using a variable-volume synthetic apparatus, bubble-point pressures were measured for mixtures with R-290 mol fractions ranging from 0.2149 to 0.8140. Only vapor-liquid phase equilibrium (complete miscibility) was observed across all compositions and temperatures investigated. In addition, liquid densities were measured at temperatures between 283.15 and 343.15 K at pressures up to 5 MPa using a vibrating-tube densimeter. The experimental data were correlated using the Patel-Teja-Valderrama (PTV) and Perturbed Chain-Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) equations of state (EoS). For the bubble-point pressure calculations, the absolute average relative deviation (AAD) was 3.28 % and 6.09 % for the PC-SAFT and PTV EoS, respectively. For the density predictions, the corresponding AAD values for the PC-SAFT and PTV EoS were 0.94 % and 6.94 %, respectively.

The wave rotor is where the gas wave refrigeration process occurs. The high-pressure gas enters the wave rotor passage through the nozzle, providing the pressure energy required for expansion. This injection process is accompanied by irreversible flow loss. In previous studies, we learned that the energy transfer process can be optimized by introducing the incident angle of the curved oscillating tube or the nozzle angle. The inclined nozzle provides the pre-rotating tangential component, and the curved passage guides the gas to be rectified quickly. Although the two optimization methods have achieved the effect of energy recovery, the influence amplitude and synchronization on the refrigeration performance are different. There is a lack of research on the coupling relationship between the two analysis methods. Therefore, the angle between the direction of gas incidence velocity and the tangential direction of the rotor is defined as the relative deviation angle. The proposal of this coupling parameter can more accurately and concisely reflect the variation law of structural parameters and refrigeration performance. When the relative deviation angle is slight, the gas wave refrigerator shows more robust refrigeration performance. In the low back pressure area, the improvement effect of the relative deviation angle on refrigeration performance can be amplified. The appearance of high expansion efficiency requires a good fit between performance parameters and structural parameters.
波转子是气波制冷过程发生的地方。高压气体通过喷嘴进入波转子通道,提供膨胀所需的压力能量。这一注入过程伴随着不可逆的流动损失。在之前的研究中,我们了解到可以通过引入弯曲振荡管的入射角或喷嘴角度来优化能量传递过程。倾斜喷嘴提供预旋转切向组件,弯曲通道引导气体快速整流。两种优化方法虽然都达到了能量回收的效果,但对制冷性能的影响幅度和同步性不同。对这两种分析方法之间的耦合关系研究较少。因此,将气体入射速度方向与转子切向方向之间的夹角定义为相对偏差角。该耦合参数的提出能更准确、简洁地反映结构参数与制冷性能的变化规律。当相对偏差角较小时,气波制冷机制冷性能较好。在低背压区,相对偏差角对制冷性能的改善作用可以被放大。高膨胀效率的出现要求性能参数与结构参数之间有很好的拟合。
