Air interaction around outdoor air-cooled condensers

In order to increase cooling or heating efficiency,a porous computational fluid dynamics（CFD）model is employed to predict the thermo-fluid status and optimize the placement of outdoor units.A full scale model is established to validate the accuracy of CFD simulation in terms of velocity and temperature distributions.The comparison between the measurement and the simulation shows a good agreement.By evaluating the condensers＇ sucked air temperature with CFD for three units installed in a row,it is found that the minimum separation distance among neighboring units is 0.2 m;a vertical wall should be apart from the unit line by at least 0.8 m;and large different operating pressures among units do not impact the flow rate and the heat transfer of the other units meaningfully.

Exploring heating performance of gas engine heat pump with heat recovery

In order to evaluate the heating performance of gas engine heat pump（GEHP） for air-conditioning and hot water supply, a test facility was developed and experiments were performed over a wide range of engine speed（1400-2600 r/min）, ambient air temperature（2.4-17.8 ℃） and condenser water inlet temperature（30-50℃）. The results show that as engine speed increases from 1400 r/min to 2600 r/min, the total heating capacity and energy consumption increase by about 30% and 89%, respectively; while the heat pump coefficient of performance（COP） and system primary energy ratio（PER） decrease by 44% and 31%, respectively. With the increase of ambient air temperature from 2.4 ℃ to 17.8 ℃, the heat pump COP and system PER increase by 32% and 19%, respectively. Moreover, the heat pump COP and system PER decrease by 27% and 15%, respectively, when the condenser water inlet temperature changes from 30 ℃ to 50 ℃. So, it is obvious that the effect of engine speed on the performance is more significant than the effects of ambient air temperature and condenser water inlet temperature.

Experimental Performance of Moderate and High Temperature Heat Pump Charged with Refrigerant Mixture BY-3

Theoretical and experimental analysis of a new refrigerant mixture BY-3 was conducted based on a single-stage vapor compression refrigeration system. The water-water heat pump system used BY-3 to produce hot water when the low temperature was 20 ℃. The following results were obtained: the highest temperature at the condenser outlet reached about 85 ℃; when the difference between the water temperatures at the condenser outlet and the evaporator inlet was less than 40 ℃, the coefficient of performance (COP) was larger than 4; when the difference reached 55 ℃, the COP still kept 3; the discharge temperature of BY-3 was lower than 100 ℃, and the refrigerant vapor pressure kept lower than 1.8 MPa. When the water temperature at the condenser outlet reached over 85 ℃, nearly a 5 ℃ superheating temperature was maintained.

This paper introduces a new design of for steam feeding the water pump of an air-cooled unit using the back-pressure steam turbine as the prime motor. Using variable condition analysis on a 600 MW direct air-cooled unit, and with consideration of the effect on the ambient conditions, the feasibility, economy, and adaptability of the design are verified.

Experimental Study of Condensation Heat Transfer on Tube Bundles in Large Power Plant Condensers

In order to clarify the effect of condensate inundation on steam condensation in a large tube bundle, condensation heat transfer and the condensate flow pattern in the tube bundle have been experimentally investigated. Test tube bundle consists of 36 cooling tubes, 12 condensate supply tubes and 24 un-cooled dummy tubes. Cooling test tubes are made of copper and have an outer diameter of 19.1 mm and condensing length of 150 mm, Steam flows horizontally through the test tube bundle at gap velocities 15-27 m/s at pressures of 8.8 kPa. In this study, experimental data about condensate flow pattern and condensation heat transfer in a tube bundle were collected for the optimization of tube arrangement in large power plant condensers.

Simulation of Reactive Distillation Process for Monosilane Production via Redistribution of Trichlorosilane

The reactive distillation process for producing high purity monosilane via trichlorosilane redistribution reaction was simulated. Rigorous RadFrac block was employed in Aspen Plus simulation package. Accurate results could be given when the chemical kinetics was taken into account in the equilibrium stage model. A single column process was used for the verification of previous studies. The results showed that 99.9% purity monosilane could be achieved in the reactive distillation. A pumparound block was employed to reduce the condenser duty with inexpen-sive coolant. The effects of operating pressure, feed stage location, liquid holdup per stage and pumparound location were also investigated. The energy consumption was limited, but the refrigerant temperature was too low, which is the fatal disadvantage. Therefore, a double columns process was developed to increase the condenser tem-perature. The simulation results demonstrated that a reasonable temperature could be achieved by varying the recycle stream location.

Influence of thermal flow field of cooling tower on recirculation ratio of a direct air-cooled system for a power plant

In order to get thermal flow field of direct air-cooled system,the hot water was supplied to the model of direct air-cooled condenser(ACC). The particle image velocimetery (PIV) experiments were carried out to get thermal flow field of a ACC under different conditions in low velocity wind tunnel,at the same time,the recirculation ratio at cooling tower was measured,so the relationship between flow field characteristics and recirculation ratio of cooling tower can be discussed. From the results we can see that the flow field configuration around cooling tower has great effects on average recirculation ratio under cooling tower. The eddy formed around cooling tower is a key reason that recirculation produces. The eddy intensity relates to velocity magnitude and direction angle,and the configuration of eddy lies on the geometry size of cooling tower. So changing the flow field configuration around cooling tower reasonably can decrease recirculation ratio under cooling tower,and heat dispel effect of ACC can also be improved.

Transient Exergy Analysis of the Condenser and Evaporator of an Air Source Heat Pump Water Heater

In this study the performance of an ASHPWH （air source heat pump water heater） is assessed from exergy point of view in component wise. In order to investigate the work potential of energy, the destruction on the exergy is analyzed and results are summarized for the components individually. The exergy destruction of the system is studied by considering real paths of the pressure and temperature data which are collected during the experiments of the ASHPWH under varying environmental conditions. In the following step, the evolution of the exergy destruction of the system is calculated by a code which is compiled on MATLAB along these temperature and pressure paths. The obtained results reveal the importance of the transient exergy analysis by providing detailed information about exergy destruction of the system such as where it drives up and reaches up to its max and where it drops down and evolves on a smooth path.

Dropwise Condensation on a Rotating Condenser in Relation to Heat Transfer Intensification

A design of a rotating condenser is suggested. The maximum radius under the effect of rotation is estimated analytically .It is found that it decreases with the angular velocity. This in turn increases the rate of sweeping the surface by departing droplets. The appearance of droplets with smaller radii will be predominant. These small droplets offer small thermal resistances, thus enhancing heat transfer through the condenser surface. It is found also that the maximum radius is a function of the distance from the axis of the rotating condenser. Thus the value of the maximum radius under rotation is not unique. This in turn makes the heat flux through the condenser surface not to be uniform.

Thermal transfer experimental research of a horizontal tube evaporative condenser

The thermal resistances distribution in different wet-bulb temperatures, air velocities and spraying water densities were achieved by the experimental test. The fluctuation of the water film convection and the water-air interfacial thermal resistance were reviewed especially. In the distribution of thermal resistance, the rank of the thermal resistance proportion （from max to min） is air flow heat transfer resistance, heat transfer resistance between refrigerant and wall, water film convection resistance and wall heat transfer resistance. When the heat flux is constant, the total resistance lowers nearly along with the increasing of air flow and water spray density. But there are a best air flow value of 2.98 m/s and a best spray water density of 0.064 kg/（m ·s） respectively, if continue to increase them, condensation performance is not significantly improved any more. The test results are available to improve the evaporative condenser performance and the designing lever.

Condensing Heat Exchanger

The paper shows a method of designing a heat exchanger recovering heat from the condensation of water vapour contained in flue gases. A heat exchanger condenses water vapour and SO2 （sulphur dioxide） in the presence of inert gases （CO2, CO, N2, O2） contained in flue gases. A mathematical model and a sample design of a heat exchanger were presented. The heat exchange is capable of recovering from a dozen or so to several dozen percent of heat from flue gases escaping into the atmosphere. A second advantage of the heat exchanger is the possibility to reduce the emissions of SO2 considerably. Depending on the parameters, it can be even a sevenfold reduction in the emissions. The main mathematical tool used for designing the condensing heat exchanger is the Colburn-Hougen method. The authors omitted that part of the method which requires iterative calculations. The Mollier diagram was used instead.

Theoretical Study and Performance Analysis of an Adsorption Chiller

The thermodynamic cycle for an adsorption system is presented inp-T diagram. In order to investigate the performance of the adsorption system, a lumped parameter transient model of the chiller is developed, in order to predict the behaviors of the adsorption chiller system and find the influence of working conditions on its operation. For the working process of the main components of the system, including adsorber, condenser and evaporator, the coupled unsteady equations were set up for each stage. The model was then solved using stable numerical methods from EES （equation engineering solver）, and the performance of the adsorber and condenser/evaporator of the system was analyzed. The condensation, evaporation and adsorber temperature values as well as the adsorption ratio and desorption ratio were obtained as function of operating time. Also, the coefficient of performance was analyzed in function of the heat source temperature and the cooling source temperature.

Effect of Temperature Differentials on Condensers of Split-Type Air Conditioners in Apartment Buildings

Analyzing the effects of heat rejection from condensers of split-type air-conditioning units at lower-floors of MLABs （multi-level apartment buildings）, using field measurements to monitor environmental conditions and condenser operation, revealed increases in the inlet air temperature at the condensers at the upper floors, which in turn increased the power and energy requirements for these units and decreased their cooling capacities. Results indicated that a decrease of up to 16,000 tons in cooling capacity and an increase of up to 67.2 MW in the national peak load demand might be reached for a 4 ℃ temperature differential for Kuwait conditions. It is recommended that the condensers be placed in the wind pathway to minimize the impact of heat rejection and stack effect and to optimize the operation of split-type air-conditioning units, and that other factors regarding installation setup and location are investigated.

Simplified Correlation Equations of Heat Transfer Coefficient during Phase Change for Flow inside Tubes

In this work, the easy to use, simple and direct equations were formulated and tested. These equations can be used to calculate the mean values of the heat transfer coefficients of inside tube flow during phase change. Analytical and experimental methods were used to correlate these equations. Two different forms were used, one for evaporation case and the other for condensation case. Carbon dioxide, CO2, was used as case study. Correlated values of the mean heat transfer coefficients （hcor,.） were compared with the experimental results （he^e） and with other published result, a good agreement was noticed. The resulted correlations can be used to simplify the design and performance studies of both condensers and evaporators.

Using Condensed Water of Air Conditioners for Toilet Flushing： A Case Study in Brazil

Within the concept of sustainable construction, with sensible and conscious use of finite natural resources, every effort to save and reuse raw-materials is considered an important step to be adopted in buildings, from project, implantation and construction to operation and maintenance throughout their lifecycle. This study aims at showing the application of a system that reuses condensed water drained from air-conditioner evaporators （which are usually disposed of）, and a plan to use this water for toilet flushing, reducing consumption of treated water bought from water companies. The authors verified that each air-conditioner specified in the project of a commercial building--used as reference here--produces 4.8 L of water per hour of operation. This result in a daily accumulated volume of 4,290 L, which represents a significant part of the amount needed to supply all the toilets in the building. A water capture system located at a strategic intermediate floor would be able to store this water and pump it into a special reservoir on the roof of the building, to be distributed into toilet flush pipes. By applying this technology, the authors seek to considerably reduce the expected treated water consumption and consequently decrease water bill costs.

Effect of chloralkanes on the phenyltrichlorosilane synthesis by gas phase condensation

To enhance the process of phenyltrichlorosilane synthesis using gas phase condensation, a series of chloralkanes were introduced. The influence of temperature and chloralkane amount on the synthesis was studied based on the product distribution from a tubular reactor. The promoting effect of chloralkane addition was mainly caused by the chloralkane radicals generated by the dissociation of C–Cl bond. The promoting effect of the chloromethane with more chlorine atoms was better than those with less chlorine atoms. Intermediates detected from the reactions with isoprene and bromobenzene demonstrated that both trichlorosilyl radical and dichlorosilylene existed in the reaction system in the presence of chloralkanes. A detailed reaction scheme was proposed.

Detailed kinetics of methylphenyldichlorosilane synthesis from methyldichlorosilane and chlorobenzene by gas phase condensation

Methylphenyldichlorosilane(MPDS, CH3C6H5 SiC l2) is an important silicone monomer for the synthesis of highperformance polymethylphenylsiloxane polymers. In this work, the mechanism of the synthesis of MPDS from methyldichlorosilane and chlorobenzene by gas phase condensation was studied, and a kinetic model with 35 species and 58 elementary reactions was established. Experiments were carried out in a tubular reactor under a wide range of reaction conditions. The calculated mole fractions of the reactants and products were in a good agreement with the experimental results. A mechanism of the insertion of chloromethylsilylene into the C\Cl bond of chlorobenzene was proposed, which was proved to be the main pathway of MPDS production. The established kinetic model can be used in design and optimization of the industrial reactor for MPDS synthesis.

Study on the Influence of Structural Parameters of Multi-channel Cylinder Dryer on Heat Transfer Performance

An approach to design multi-channel cylinder dryer was proposed. The heat transfer performance and flow characteristic under various structural parameters were analyzed. First, an experiment was designed and set up to measure the condensing heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop in order to ,~erify the applicability of the Cavallini＇s correlation. Then, the relationship among the count of channels, aspect ratio, spacing ratio, width, height and hydraulic diameter of a channel was given. Finally, the correlation of condensing heat transfer and the homogeneous model was introduced in order to observe the heat transfer performance and flow characteristic of the multi-channel cylinder dryer affected by different structures. The study reveals that the structural parameters including count of channels, aspect ratio, spacing ratio of a channel dramatically influence the condensation heat transfer coefficient and frictional resistance of the steam. Based on the selected paper machine, it is suggested that the overall performance of the multi-channel cylinder dryer is best if the count of channels is 150-200, the aspect ratio is 1 ： 3 and the spacing ratio is 1 ： 1-1 ： 3.
