Abstract:In our earlier papers a hybrid adsorption-compression refrigeration cycle was presented. The hybrid, two stages cycle is based only on the natural refrigerants: water and carbon dioxide. The main advantage of the hybrid cycle is that the carbon dioxide compression cycle is subcritical because during the year-round operation it is possible to maintain the condensing temperature below 20°C. During the hot season, this is achieved by adsorption cooling, during cold seasons the wet cooling tower is sufficient. Alr… Show more
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.
