... (in Japanese)]. In the present study, the panel was modified to reduce the large pressure loss of the refrigerant flow at the evaporator. Total area of the panels was 1.9 m 2 and the rated capacity of the compressor was 250 W. A collector efficiency factor of 0.9 was obtained for the evaporator. The effect...

.... The paper also attempts to provide an assessment of the state-of-the-art in FDD for vapor compression equipment and to identify the steps necessary to achieve widespread application. 4 Effect of faults on thermodynamic states Equipment safety primarily relates to the compressor and motor...

... most expensive piece of equipment in heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems. The basis of the characteristic parameter approach is to quantify the performance of each and every primary component of the chiller (the electrical motor, the compressor, the condenser heat...

...M. Liu A new variable water (VW) flow system for chilled water system application is presented. Design, operational, and control issues are discussed. Analytical models of pump power and evaporative temperature are developed. The VW systems consume considerably less pump and compressor energy than...
