Performance analysis on a novel water chiller using liquid desiccant

A new type of liquid desiccant water chiller for applications on air-conditioning and refrigeration is introduced.The system can be driven by low-grade heat sources with temperatures of 60 to 80 ℃,which can be easily obtained by a flat plat solar collector,waste heat,etc.A numerical model is developed to study the system performance.The effects of different parameters on performance are discussed,including evaporating temperature,regenerating temperature,ambient condition,and mass flow rates of closed moist air and regenerating air.The results show that an acceptable performance of a cooling capacity of 2.5 kW and a coefficient of performance of 0.37 can be achieved in a reference case.The regenerating temperature and the humidity ratios of ambient air are two main factors affecting system performance,while the temperature of ambient air functions less.In addition,the mass flow rate of regenerating air and closed moist air should be carefully determined for economical operation.

Energy Performance Analysis of Ice Thermal Storage for Commercial HVAC Systems

Ice thermal storage is a promising technology to reduce energy costs by shifting the cooling cost from on-peak to off-peak periods. The paper investigates the application of ice thermal storage and its impact on energy consumption, demand and total energy cost. Energy simulation software along with a chiller model is used to simulate the energy consumption and demand for the existing office building located in central Florida. Furthermore, the study presents a case study to demonstrate the cost saving achieved by the ice storage applications. The results show that although the energy consumption may increase by using ice thermal storage, the energy cost drops significantly, mainly depending on the local utility rate structure. It found that for the investigated system the annual energy consumption increases by about 12% but the annual energy cost drops by about 3 6%.

Modelling of Chillers for Energy Performance Assessment of HVAC Systems

The reliable assessment of the annual energy demand has become necessary in view of building energy performance certification. Accurate models must be used to simulate the behaviour of HVAC （heating, ventilation and air conditioning） components in real operation, usually characterized by a wide variation of building loads. In this context, this paper deals with the development and validation of an algorithm aimed at the assessment of part load performance of various kinds of controls for vapour compresion based heat pumps and chillers, in particular referring to on-off, inverter-driven and multi-stage vapour compression. The reliability of this algorithm in the calculation of seasonal performances is checked against monitoring of heat pumps and chillers operating under real conditions.

Energy Consumption and Thermal Performance in Different Residential Building Types in Hot-Summer and Cold-Winter Zone

In China, REC （residential energy consumption） is the second largest energy use category （10%） following the industry. To fulfill the Chinese government＇s commitment that Chinese CO2 emissions would peak in 2030, as a result, improving the energy efficiency and reducing the emissions from the building sector is significantly important. A survey, in the form of a questionnaire, of energy consumption and thermal situation in different residential building types （detached house, multi-story building, high-rise building）, was undertaken in three cities （Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Changzhou） in hot-summer and cold-winter regions, these three cities were selected to represent the most flourishing economic provinces. This region in China was selected for the evaluation of EETP （energy and thermal performance analysis）, because of its special weather conditions, huge energy consumption （as both heating in winter and cooling in summer are necessary）, and other regional characteristics. 183 households were sampled and experiments were separately done in typical examples of three different building types. Systematic evaluation on EETP for three different residential building types, were put forward to assess the energy efficiency and thermal performance of three different building types.

Energy Performance and Condensation Risk of DCDV System in Subtropical Hong Kong

The combined use of dry cooling(DC) system and dedicated ventilation(DV) system to decouple cooling and dehumidification process for energy efficiency was proposed for subtropical climates like Hong Kong. In this study, the energy performance and condensation risk of the use of DCDV system were examined by analyzing its application in a typical office building in Hong Kong. Through hour-by-hour simulation using actual equipment performance data and realistic building and system characteristics, it was found that with the use of DCDV system, the annual energy consumption could be reduced by 54% in comparison with the conventional system(constant air volume with reheat system). In respect of condensation risk, it was found that the annual frequency of occurrence of condensation on DC coil was 35 h. Additional simulations were conducted to examine the influence of different parameters on the condensation risk of DCDV system. Measures to ensure condensate-free on DC coil were also discussed.

Unconventional Energy Bands and Chirality of Ultracold Atoms in Trilayer Honeycomb Lattice

We investigate ultracold fermionic atoms in the trilayer honeycomb lattice. In the low energy approximation, we derive an effective Hamiltonian for pseudospins. The energy spectrum shows a cubic form of the wavevector and is gapless. The quasiparticles and quasiholes are ehiral and show Berry＇s phase π when the wavevector adiabatically evolves along a closed circle, Furthermore, the experimental detection of the energy spectrum is proposed with Bragg scattering techniques.

Theoretical and Experimental Study of a Cylindro-Parabolic Solar Collector

This article outlines the theoretical and experimental performance studies of a cylindro-parabolic solar collector. The theoretical study consists on the establishment, through mass and energy balances, of a mathematical model to control the exiting temperature of the heating fluid as well as the temperatures of the absorber and the glass. The experimental level investigates the influence of the solar absorber tube diameter on the performances of the driving device. Several experiments were made in order to know the possibility to reach temperatures being able to ensure for example the ammonia vaporization in the generator of a solar absorption refrigeration system. These experiments were carried out under various operating and climatic conditions. The results are presented and discussed.

Direction Dependence of Savings on Cooling and Heating Loads by Energy Efficient Windows

The energy saving performance of energy efficient windows has strong dependence on window direction. Transmitted insolation level definitely affected the cooling and heating load. Simple simulation on the decrement of cooling load and the increment of heating load of a shading window compared with those of a transparent window show the prospect of energy saving effect clearly.From southeastward to southwestward, shading window even enlarges total heating and cooling loads when the thermal transmission is the same. However, if the shading coefficient of window is switched between summer and winter, total cooling and heating load can be reduced. This result clarifies the importance of ＂smart window＂.
