Thermodynamic Simulation of CCP in Air-Cooled Heat Pump Unit with HFCs and CO₂Trans-Critical

The exergy analysis and finite time thermodynamic methods had been employed to analyze the compound condensation process (CCP). It was based on the air-cooling heat pump unit. The cooling capacity of the chiller unit is about 1 kW, and the work refrigerant is R22/R407C/R410A/CO2. The MATLAB/SIMULINK software was employed to build the simulation model. The thermodynamic simulation model is significant for the optimization of parameters of the unit, such as condensation and evaporation temperature and mass flow of the sanitary hot water and size of hot water storage tank. The COP of the CCP of R410A system is about 3% - 5% higher than the CCP of the R22 system, while CCP of the R407C system is a little lower than the CCP of R22 system. And the CCP of CO2 trans-critical system has advantage in the hot supply mode. The simulation method provided a theoretical reference for developing the production of CCP with substitute refrigerant R407C/R410A/CO2.

Experimental Study of Air Conditioning Unit of Evaporative Cooling Assisted Mechanical Refrigeration

The evaporative cooling,which assists the refrigeration machinery air-conditioning systems test-rig,has been designed.Its structure and working principle were described,and the performance test was conducted and analyzed.The test shows that making full use of the evaporative cooling "free cooling" in Spring and Autumn seasons can fully meet the requirements of air-conditioned comfort through the switch of the function in different seasons.Taking into account the evaporative cooling fan and pump energy consumption,compared with the traditional mechanical refrigeration system,more than 80 percent of energy can be saved,and the energy efficiency ratio of the Unit(EER)is as high as 7.63.Using the two stages of indirect evaporative cooling to pre-cool the new wind in summer,under the conditions of the same air supply temperature requirements,0.83 kg/s chilled water saved can be equivalent to the traditional mechanical refrigeration system,and when the new wind ratio up to 50 percent,more than 10 percent load was reduced in mechanical refrigeration system.The overall EER increased about 35 percent.

Research and Demonstration of Direct Air-Cooling System for 600-MW Fossil-Fired Power Plants

Given the distribution feature of resources such as coal and water, the requirements for the development of Chinese power industry, and the fact of monopoly by foreign companies, it is very necessary and significant to independently research and develop air-cooling technologies. Through experimental research, simulative calculation, process and equipment development, field tests and a demonstration project, the design and operation technologies for air-cooling system are grasped and relevant key equipment is developed. The results of the demonstration project show that the technical indicators for the air-cooling system have met or exceeded the design requirements. Part of the research results have been incorporated into the relevant national design standards. The technologies developed have been applied to more than 23 sets of thermal power units of or above 600 MW in China.

Auto-Tuning Parameters of Fractional PID Controller Design for Air-Conditioning Fan Coil Unit

The traditional integer order PID controller manipulates the air-conditioning fan coil unit(FCU)that offers cooliug and heatins loads to each air-conditioning room in summer and winter,respectivelv.In order to maintain a steady indoor temperature in summer and winter,the control quality cannot meet the related requirements of air-conditioning automation,such as large overshoot,large steady state error.long regulating time,etc.In view of these factors,this paper develops a fractional order PID controller to deal with such problem associated with FCU.Then,by varving mutation factor and crossover rate of basic differential evolution algorithmadaptivelv,a modified differential evolution algorithm(MDEA)is designed to tune the satisfactory values of five parameters of indoor temperature fractional order PID controller.This fractional order PID coutrol system is configured and the corresponding mumerical simulation is conducted by means of MATLAB software.The results indicate that the proposed fractional order PID control svstem and MDEA are reliable and the related control performance indexes meet with the related requirements of comfortable air-conditioning design and control criteria.

An Influencing Factor - Water-Filter Ratio on Heat Resistance of Condensate Polishing Filter Material in Water

In air-cooled condenser, high temperature condensing water m summer which approaching and exceed 60＊ C, which may result in filter materials degradation and release impurities. This paper discusses an influencing factor, water-filter ratio （soaking solution and filter quality ratio）, on leachable dissolution rate and filter material degradation rate m high temperature water. The UV absorption at 254nm （A254） and the exchange capacity ware measured after heat test as composite indicators. In addition, the Wends of A254 variation with heating time were measured in different water-filter ratio. The stability is probably due to the effect of water-filter ratio. This has been further borne out that, water-filter ratio increases, leachable concentration decreases exponentially and tends to a fLxed value.
