Effect of an Internal Heat Exchanger on the Performances of a Double Evaporator Ejector Refrigeration Cycle

A theoretical investigation is presented about a double evaporator ejector refrigeration cycle(DEERC).Special attention is paid to take into account the influence of the sub-cooling and superheating effects induced by an internal heat exchanger(IHX).The ejector is introduced into the baseline cycle in order to mitigate the throttling process losses and increase the compressor suction pressure.Moreover,the IHX has the structure of a concentric counter-flow type heat exchanger and is intentionally used to ensure that the fluid at the compressor inlet is vapor.To assess accurately the influence of the IHX on the DEERC performance,a mathematical model is derived in the frame of the dominant one-dimensional theory for ejectors.The model also accounts for the friction effect in the ejector mixing section.The equations of this model are solved using an Engineering Equation Solver(EES)for different fluids.These are:R134a as baseline fluid and other environment friendly refrigerants used for comparison,namely,R1234yf,R1234ze,R600,R600a,R290,R717 and R1270.The simulation results show that the DEERC with an IHX can achieve COP(the coefficient of performance)improvements from 5.2 until 10%.

Performance Analysis of an Organic Rankine Cycle with a Preheated Ejector

The so-called organic Rankine cycle(ORC)is an effective technology allowing heat recovery from lower temperature sources.In the present study,to improve its thermal efficiency,a preheated ejector using exhaust steam coming from the expander is integrated in the cycle(EPORC).Considering net power output,pump power,and thermal efficiency,the proposed system is compared with the basic ORC.The influence of the ejector ratio(ER)of the preheated ejector on the system performances is also investigated.Results show that the net power output of the EPORC is higher than that of the basic ORC due to the decreasing pump power.Under given working conditions,the average thermal efficiency of EPORC is 29%higher than that of ORC.The ER has a great impact on the performance of EPORC by adjusting the working fluid fed to the pump,leading to significant variations of the pump work Moreover,the ER has a remarkable effect on the working fluid temperature lift(TL)at the evaporator inlet,thus reducing the evaporator heat load.According to the results,the thermal efficiency of EPORC increases by 30%,when the ER increases from 0.05 to 0.4.

Numerical Study on Flow-Induced Vibration of Ejector Structure

High-speed airflow in wind tunnel tests usually causes dramatic vibration of ejector structure,which may lead to fatigue and even destruction of the wind tunnel.Therefore,analyzing and solving the flow-induced vibration problem is a tough and indispensable part of the wind tunnel security design.In this paper,taking a kind of two-stage ejector as the study object,multiple numerical simulation methods are adopted in order to carry out research on the analysis technique of the flow-induced vibration characteristics of ejector structure.Firstly,the structural dynamics characteristic is analyzed by using the ejector structural dynamics numerical model,which is built on the basis of finite element method.Secondly,the complex flow phenomenon is explored applying numerical fluid-dynamics model of the inner flow field of the ejector,which is constructed on the basis of finite volume method.Finally,based on the two numerical models above,the vibration response of the ejector structure induced by the high-speed airflow is computed via the fluid-solid coupling technique.The comparison of the simulation results with the actual vibration test indicates that these numerical simulation methods can accurately figure out the rule of flow-induced vibration of ejectors.

A novel ε-type solenoid actuator is proposed to improve the dynamic response of electro-pneumatic ejector valves by reducing moving mass weight. A finite element analysis (FEA) model has been developed to describe the static and dynamic operations of the valves. Compared with a conventional E-type actuator, the proposed ε-type actuator reduced the moving mass weight by almost 65% without significant loss of solenoid force, and reduced the response time (RT) typically by 20%. Prototype valves were designed and fabricated based on the proposed ε-type actuator model. An experimental setup was also established to investigate the dynamic characteristics of valves. The experimental results of the dynamics of valves agreed well with simulations, indicating the validity of the FEA model.

Computational Analysis of Mixing Guide Vane Effects on Performance of the Supersonic Ejector-Diffuser System

The flow field in the ejector-diffuser system and its optimal operation condition are hardly complicated due to the complicated turbulent mixing, compressibility effects and even flow unsteadiness which are generated inside the ejector- diffuser system. This paper aims at the improvement in ejector-diffuser system by focusing attention on entrainment ratio and pressure recovery. Several mixing guide vanes were installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method based on Fluent has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows and shock waves inside the ejector. A finite volume scheme and density-based solver with coupled scheme were applied in the computational process. Standard k-ω turbulent model, implicit formulations were used considering the accuracy and stability. Previous experimental results showed that more flow vortexes were generated and more vertical flow was introduced into the stream under a mixing guide vane influence. Besides these effects on the secondary stream, the mixing guide vane effects on the shock system of the primary stream were also investigated in this paper. Optimal analysis results of the mixing guide vane effects were also carried out in detail in terms of the positions, lengths and numbers to achieve the best operation condition. The comparison of ejector performance with and without the mixing guide vane was obtained. The ejector-diffuser system performance is discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, pressure recovery as well as total pressure loss.

So people pay more and more attention to natural refrigerants and energy saving technologies. An innovative system combining CO 2 transcritical cycle with ejector cycle is proposed in this paper. The CO 2 compression sub-cycle is powered by electricity with the characteristics of relatively high temperature in the gas cooler (defined as an intercooler by the proposed system). In order to recover the waste heat, an ejector sub-cycle operating with the natural refrigerants (NH 3, H 2O) is employed. The two sub-cycles are connected by an intercooler. This combined cycle joins the advantages of the two cycles together and eliminates the disadvantages. The influences of the evaporation temperature in CO 2 compression sub-cycle, the evaporation temperature in the ejector sub-cycle, the temperature in the intercooler and the condensation temperature in the proposed system performance are discussed theoretically in this study. In addition, some unique features of the system are presented.
