Abstract:The performance characteristics of an ejector-expansion refrigeration cycle (EEC) using R32 have been investigated in comparison with that using R134a. The coefficient of performance (COP), the exergy destruction, the exergy efficiency and the suction nozzle pressure drop (SNPD) are discussed. The results show that the application of an ejector instead of a throttle valve in R32 cycle decreases the cycle's total exergy destruction by 8.84%-15.84% in comparison with the basic cycle (BC). The R32 EEC provides 5.22%-13.77% COP improvement and 5.13%-13.83% exergy efficiency improvement respectively over the BC for the given ranges of evaporating and condensing temperatures. There exists an optimum suction nozzle pressure drop (SNPD) which gives a maximum system COP and volumetric cooling capacity (VCC) under a specified condition. The value of the optimum SNPD mainly depends on the efficiencies of the ejector components, but is virtually independent of evaporating temperature and condensing temperature. In addition, the improvement of the component efficiency, especially the efficiencies of diffusion nozzle and the motive nozzle, can enhance the EEC performance.
The paper takes Tianjin subway as an example, and use the Subway Environment Simulation (SES) program to establish subway system with platform screen doors or different characteristics of two systems to carry out the simulate computation in summer, transition season and winter of the two systems; by analyzing the difference between two environment control modes, get the chart of the temperature distribution characteristic. The table result showed that it has more advantages using closed system than PSD system in Tianjin by using the primary invests and saving energy consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
