Modeling Of Solar-Powered Single-Effect Absorption Cooling System And Supermarket Refrigeration/Hvac System, Ammar Bahman
Modeling Of Solar-Powered Single-Effect Absorption Cooling System And Supermarket Refrigeration/Hvac System, Ammar Bahman
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis consists of two different research problems. In the first one, the aim is to model and simulate a solar-powered, single-effect, absorption refrigeration system using a flat-plate solar collector and LiBr-H2O mixture as the working fluid. The cooling capacity and the coefficient of performance of the system are analyzed by varying all independent parameters, namely: evaporator pressure, condenser pressure, mass flow rate, LiBr concentration, and inlet generator temperature. The cooling performance of the system is compared with conventional vapor-compression systems for different refrigerants (R-134a, R-32, and R-22). The cooling performance is also assessed for a typical year …

Analyses Of Variable Refrigerant Flow And Exergy In Air Conditioning Systems, Rashid Ali Alshatti
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis consists of two research problems in the air conditioning (A/C) area. For the first problem, the aim is to model and simulate a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning system. The coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigeration or heat pump system is one of the critical parameters for designing an air conditioning system. The modeling of the system components for a VRF cycle under different cooling conditions using R-134a and R-22 as refrigerants was carried out. Calculations were performed by varying different parameters such as condenser and evaporator temperatures, and refrigerant type. The R-134a refrigerant shows a better …
