An experimental and theoretical investigation of refrigerant charge on a secondary loop air‐conditioning heat pump system in electric vehicles

Automotive air‐conditioning heat pump systems are particular interest worldwide in energy conservation and emission reduction for electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Refrigerant charge amount is a key factor for the air‐conditioning heat pump system optimization affecting the condensing pressure and subcooling in both heating and cooling modes. In this paper, the influence of the refrigerant charge on system performances was investigated using the experiment method on a secondary loop air‐conditioning heat pump system. The typical heat transfer and flow parameters were recorded, and both cooling and heating performances of the system were investigated and illustrated by pressure‐enthalpy diagrams. The critical refrigerant charges were determined in both heating and cooling modes. Three typical void fraction correlation models were also applied for the refrigerant charge determination modeling as a system off‐design method. Results show that the Hughmark void fraction correlation method has the best prediction of the critical refrigerant charge in both cooling and heating modes.

Theoretical and experimental investigation of a heat pipe heat exchanger for energy recovery of exhaust air

Heat pipes and two-phase thermosyphon systems are passive heat transfer systems that employ a two-phase cycle of a working fluid within a completely sealed system. Consequently, heat exchangers based on heat pipes have low thermal resistance and high effective thermal conductivity, which can reach up to the order of (10⁵ W/(m K)). In energy recovery systems where the two streams should be unmixed, such as air-conditioning systems of biological laboratories and operating rooms in hospitals, heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHEs) are recommended. In this study, an experimental and theoretical study was carried out on the thermal performance of an air-to-air HPHE filled with two refrigerants as working fluids, R22 and R407c. The heat pipe heat exchanger used was composed of two rows of copper heat pipes in a staggered manner, with 11 pipes per row. Tests were conducted at different airflow rates of 0.14, 0.18, and 0.22 m³/h, evaporator inlet-air temperatures of 40, 44, and 50°C, filling ratios of 45%, 70%, and 100%, and ratios of heat capacity rate of the evaporator to condenser sections (C_e/C_c) of 1 and 1.5. For HPHE's steady-state operation, a mathematical model for heat-transfer performance was set and solved using MATLAB. Results illustrated that the heat transfer rate was in direct proportion with the evaporator inlet-air temperature and flow rate. The highest HPHE's effectiveness was obtained at a 100% filling ratio and (C_e/C_c) of 1.5. The predicted and experimental values of condenser outlet-air temperature were in good agreement, with a maximum difference of 3%. HPHE's effectiveness was found to increase with the increase in evaporator inlet-air temperature and number of transfer units (NTU) and with the decrease in airflow rate, up to 33% and 20% for refrigerants R22 and R407c, respectively. Refrigerant R22 was the superior of the two refrigerants investigated.

An investigation of the heat pump performance and ground temperature of a piled foundation heat exchanger system for a residential building

Novel methods are sought to provide greater efficiency of the installation of ground heat exchangers for GSHPs (ground source heat pumps) in domestic buildings. An economically viable option is to utilise concrete foundation piles as ground heat exchangers. The objective of this study is to investigate the operation of utilising a piled foundation structure as a ground heat exchanger. A test plot of 72 m² (ground floor area) was produced with 21 × 10 m deep concrete piles, with a single U tube pipe in each. Ground heat was extracted by a heat pump with the heat loading being varied in line with the date and the average air temperature. Over the 2007/2008 heating season this study had investigated the temperature changes in the foundation piles and the surrounding ground in addition to the heat pump operational performance. The temperature changes observed in the region of the test plot were compared with variations naturally experienced in the ground due to the seasonal climatic influence. The SPF (seasonal performance factor) of the heat pump was 3.62 and the ground temperature at a distance of 5 m from the test plot was seen to be undisturbed by the heat extraction and followed the predicted seasonal variation.     

Thermohydraulic and entropy characteristics of Al2O3-water nanofluid in a ribbed interrupted microchannel heat exchanger

In this study, an interrupted microchannel heat sink with rib turbulators was studied for its thermohydraulic effectiveness and entropy generation in a compact space. The rib edges are modified to enhance the overall functioning of the system by reducing the pressure drop. The working fluid used was Al₂O₃-water nanofluid, and increasing the Reynolds number and nanoparticle concentration triggered a reduction in the heat sink's maximum temperature. These also offer a decrease in resistance to heat transfer, and there is an improvement in the evenness of the temperature of the interrupted microchannel heat sink, as regions with the likelihood of hot spot reduced drastically. At Re = 100, increasing the nanoparticle concentration from 0% to 4% enhanced the heat transfer coefficient by 38.41% for the interrupted microchannel heat sink-base (IMCH-B) configuration. Under similar conditions, the convective heat transfer coefficient for the interrupted microchannel heat sink-fillet (IMCH-F) increased by 43.69%. Furthermore, at 0.5% concentration, changing the Reynolds number from 100 to 700 augmented the heat transfer coefficient by 70.65%. Thus, the maximum temperature of the substrate's bottom surface was reduced by 53.83°C when the system was operated at Re = 700 and nanoparticle concentration of 4%. The IMCH-C also showed relatively close results at all observed volume fractions. For the IMCH-C, the maximum temperature of the bottom surface was reduced by 41.98°C at Re = 700 when compared with Re = 100% and 4% concentration. Although at high Reynolds numbers and concentrations, the pressure drops are higher, the performance enhancement criteria prove that the nanofluid is superior to water and the edge modifications show significant performance improvement. More importantly, the IMCH-F heat sink showed the optimum performance based on the performance evaluation criteria at Re = 300 and $\phi =2\%$ (ie, at this point, the heat transfer coefficient is maximum and the pressure drop is minimum). On the other hand, the optimal thermodynamic performance was observed at Re = 700 and $\phi =4\%$. The numerical results demonstrated a potential way to exploit nano-suspensions for thermal applications, especially for high-energy flux systems with compact space constraints.

Analysis of enthalpy change with/without a heat pipe heat exchanger in a tropical air conditioning system

In an earlier paper (Yau, 2006. Application of a heat pipe heat exchanger to dehumidification enhancement in tropical HVAC systems—a baseline performance characteristics study. Int. J. Thermal Sci., accepted for publication), the baseline performance characteristics of the 8‐row wickless heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHX) were established for it being used in a vertical configuration under tropical climate conditions. The present paper covers the tests and simulation conducted on the same experimental HVAC system without the HPHX installed, thereby determining the enthalpy change for the air passing through the chilled water coil (CWC) alone (i.e. without the pre‐cooling or reheating effect of the HPHX). These experimental results, in comparison with those already obtained, would also allow an examination of how the reheat recovery with the 8‐row HPHX installed was influenced by the same key inlet parameters. The final results show that the enthalpy change with a HPHX installed for all cases examined are significantly higher than enthalpy change without a HPHX installed, demonstrating that the cooling capability of the CWC was enhanced by the HPHX.

An experimental investigation of dehumidifying and reheating performances of a dual‐evaporator heat pump system in electrified vehicles

Climate control system in electrified vehicle is quite different from traditional internal combustion engine vehicle, as it cannot use the wasted coolant heat from engine to keep warm of the cabin. For the dehumidifying and reheating air in the electrified vehicle cabin, the use of a dual‐evaporator heat pump system could improve the total energy utilization efficiency of the climate control system. In this study, an experimental dual‐evaporator heat pump system was set up to investigate dehumidifying and reheating efficiency of a cabin in electrified vehicle. Two dehumidifying modes were chosen in this experiment. One was single‐evaporator mode with indoor evaporator only, and the other was dual‐evaporator mode with both indoor and outdoor evaporators. The dual‐evaporator dehumidifying mode shows higher heat capacity, coefficient of performance, and outlet air temperature, while it has quite lower moisture extraction rate and specific moisture extraction rate compared to the single‐evaporator dehumidifying mode. Therefore, a hybrid dehumidifying and reheating method was suggested as a possible option for realization of energy conservation without sacrifice of thermal comfort for passengers.

Performance characteristics of an ammonia–water absorption heat pump system

The influences of the performance parameters and the heat transfer characteristics of the absorption heat pump using ammonia–water mixture are theoretically carried out. There is a pronounced effect of the ammonia concentration ξ after rectifier on the temperature glides that has been investigated. At ξ = 0.9000 and saturation pressures of 75 and 0.5 bar, the temperature glides are 64.4°C and 81.21°C, respectively, whereas these glides are 0°C and 16.1°C at ξ = 0.9999 and at the same pressures. This mixture property considerably affects the absorption system performance and the design of the rectifier as well as other absorption components. A correlation of the Nusselt number, Nu, is developed and compared with some published work in the literature for plate type heat exchanger. The effects of ammonia concentration ξ, mass fraction spread Δξ, specific solution circulation ratio f, and pressure ratio R_p on the refrigerant mass flow rate, the pressure drop, and the heat transfer coefficients during the condensation, the evaporation, and the absorption processes are investigated. It was found that increasing ammonia mass fraction spread Δξ results in both specific circulation ratio f and R_p that have insignificant effects on the refrigerant mass flow rate. Mounting Δξ at constant f reduces the pressure drop gradually and subsequently starts to increase as Δξ escalates. The ammonia concentration ξ has insignificant effect on the evaporation heat transfer coefficient but has a little effect on the condensation and the absorber heat transfer coefficients. The ammonia mass fraction spread Δξ and f have considerable effects on the heat transfer coefficient for different absorption heat pump components. R_p has a pronounced effect on the evaporation heat transfer coefficient, although it has a slight effect on the condensation and the absorber heat transfer coefficients. The effect of R_p on the heat transfer coefficient may be eliminated in the absorber for Δξ > 0.18. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The design and experimental verification of heat exchanger accumulators used in small commercially available air conditioning systems

This study involves the mathematical modelling and experimental verification of a heat exchanger accumulator. The study was initiated with a literature survey which, according to the authors, revealed that there was no published material that described how heat exchanger accumulators are designed to ensure that they are correctly sized according to the operating system and conditions. The heat exchange process that takes place within the heat accumulator was studied and a mathematical model of a heat exchanger accumulator developed. This model was used to develop a universal design procedure that correctly sized the heat exchanger accumulator according to the operating system into which it was to be installed. The model was then verified by conducting experimental tests and it was concluded that the model could be used to successfully design and implement heat exchanger accumulators into small commercially available air conditioning systems.

An experimental investigation of exergy loss reduction in corrugated plate heat exchanger

Exergy loss measures ineffectiveness of a heat exchanger. Hence, it was experimentally found in a three-channel 1-1 pass plate heat exchanger (PHE). Air was made to flow in the central channel to get heated by water in the outer channels under conditions of counter and parallel flows. The plates had sinusoidal wavy surfaces having corrugation angle of 30°. Reynolds numbers were in the range of 650-2600 for air and 400-1650 for water. Bulk temperature of air was in the range from 46 °C to 63 °C and that of water in the range 70-75 °C. To avoid entropy generation paradox, two methods have been proposed. In the first method exergy loss is scaled on product of heat capacity rate of cold fluid and its inlet temperature, and in the other on maximum heat transfer rate. The second method helps in arriving at the conclusions more precisely. The experimental results have been compared with the results available in the literature for corrugated water-water PHE. The exergy loss in the sinusoidal PHE is found less than that in the rectangular wavy PHE for given flow conditions and may be attributed to less turbulence and better solid-fluid contact.     

Effects of fin shapes on heat transfer in microchannel heat sinks

In the present study, compact water cooling of high‐density, high‐speed, very‐large‐scale integrated (VLSI) circuits with the help of microchannel heat exchangers were investigated analytically. This study also presents the result of mathematical analysis based on the modified Bessel function of laminar fluid flow and heat transfer through combined conduction and convection in a microchannel heat sink with triangular extensions. The main purpose of this paper is to find the dimensions of a heat sink that give the least thermal resistance between the fluid and the heat sink, and the results are compared with that of rectangular fins. It is seen that the triangular heat sink requires less substrate material as compared to rectangular fins, and the heat transfer rate per unit volume has been almost doubled by using triangular heat sinks. It is also found that the effectiveness of the triangular fin is higher than that of the rectangular fin. Therefore, the triangular heat sink has the ability to dissipate large amounts of heat with relatively less temperature rise for the same fin volume. Alternatively, triangular heat sinks may thus be more cost effective to use for cooling ultra‐high speed VLSI circuits than rectangular heat sinks.

An experimental study on vapor condensation of wet flue gas in a plastic heat exchanger

An experimental system investigating condensation heat transfer of wet flue gas was set up, and the heat transfer performance of vapor‐gas mixture with vapor condensation was discussed. The experimental results of laminar flow in a plastic longitudinal spiral plate heat exchanger were obtained and are in good agreement with the modified classical film model. It is shown that the plastic air preheater can avoid acid corrosion in the low‐temperature field for the boiler using fuel containing sulfur and recover latent heat of the water vapor of the wet flue gas. Also some SO₂ was scrubbed during the vapor condensing process in the heat exchanger. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(7): 571–580, 2001     

Cold energy release characteristics of an ice/air direct contact heat exchanger

This paper deals with the cold energy release characteristics of an ice/air direct contact heat exchanger. Characteristics of the outlet temperature, humidity, and time history of heat release are examined when the initial height of the ice‐cube‐packed bed in the heat exchanger is changed. The following results were obtained in these experiments: (1) Inlet air of 30 °C is lowered to about 0 °C when passed through the heat exchanger, and the absolute humidity of the outlet air is reduced to about a quarter of that of the inlet air. (2) There is an optimum height of the ice‐cube‐packed bed to maximize the amount of cold energy release. (3) This heat exchange method can supply about twice as much cold energy as is released by an ordinary fin‐tube‐type heat exchanger even if the air velocity in the heat exchanger is reduced to about 0.38 times that of the fin‐tube‐type heat exchanger. (4) A nondimensional correlation equation for predicting the time taken for the ice‐cube‐packed bed to completely melt is derived. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(2): 95–113, 2001
