摘要:Data center is a specific building space accommodating and managing data processing equipments which rely on the thermal environment for continuous operation. Based on the review of current research on evaluating thermal environment in data center, this paper defines a dimensionless index to evaluate the effect of air mixing on the equipment and characterize thermal security in local space of data center. This mixing index emphasizes on evaluation of thermal security (or failure potential) of data center environment, which is different from current evaluating system based on average inlet air temperature of data processing equipment. Through the distribution of such a mixing index, not only the distributed characteristics of data center air flow can be understood, places of potential hot spots or overheated space can be located and improved accordingly. Thermal environment of data centers with different building area, equipment layout and air flow pattern can be directly compared using heat weighted mixing index which also helps to guide the thermal design of new data centers and thermal optimization of existing data centers.
摘要:According to life circle assessment theory, the environmental effect indicators and corresponding quantification method were introduced in this paper. Then a household air conditioning was taken as an example, and its environmental effect on human health, ecosystem quality and resource consumption were analyzed. Meanwhile, emission of greenhouse gases and polluted gas were carried out. The results show that its total environment indicator score is 690 Pt. Score on ecosystem quality (502.65Pt) is the highest, and score on resource consumption (89.46Pt) is the lowest. Because of electrical power consumed, the operation phase has the most influence indicator score on environment, which reaches to 681Pt. To reduce the environmental impact, more attention should be paid on power saving and new energy utilization. Finally, during life circle of a 1.5p household air conditioning, its CO2 emission is 1.89×104 kg and SO emission is 78.017kg. The evaluation results provide necessary information to air conditioning industry to improve the environment characteristics of air conditioner and supply the valuable information for the environmental decision-making to customers, which makes them consider the cost of the technical characteristics and also consider the environmental impact.

摘要:Experimental studies on the transcritical CO2 two-phase ejector refrigeration cycle were carried out, and the effects of the working conditions and the geometric parameters of the ejector on the performance of the system were analyzed. The experiment results indicate that the COP and cooling capacity of the system increase with the rise of the cooling pressure, while decrease with the increase in the outlet temperature of the gas cooler. For the systems using different throat diameter of the nozzles, the COP of the system using the larger throat diameter of the nozzle is larger than that using the smaller one under the same condition. For systems using different diameter mixing chambers of the ejector, with the increase in the cooling pressure, the COP of the system using the smaller diameter of the mixing chamber varies greatly, and is lower than that of the system using the larger one under the lower cooling pressure condition. While under higher cooling pressure condition, the performance of system using smaller diameter of the mixing chamber is better. The COP of the transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle with a two-phase ejector is increased by 14% comparing to the traditional cycle at the same condition.
摘要:A new thermoacoustic refrigerator which is driven by a double-acting traveling-wave thermoacoustic engine have been researched and designed. Through numerical simulation, we optimize the structure parameters of the refrigerator. Under the design conditions, the new refrigerator reaches a COP of 2.74, a relative Carnot efficiency of 60%, a consumed P-V power of 534W, and a cooling capacity of 1464.9W. In addition, a traditional Stirling refrigerator and the new thermoacoustic refrigerator with double-action operation are calculated and compared for operating pressure ratio, efficiency, cooling capacity and other features, and the simulated results show that the new thermoacoustic refrigerator is very efficient and suitable for coupling with a double-action, traveling-wave thermoacoustic engine. Thermoacoustic refrigerator with double-action operation has good potential as an alternative of ordinary refrigeration technology due to intrinsic high efficiency heat driven mechanism, no moving components and environmental friendliness, etc.
摘要:Liquid-vapor separation condenser (LSC) is a kind of heat exchanger with high in-tube condensation heat transfer coefficient. It adopts some enhancement means, such as the parallel flow condensation with multi tube passes, draining away condensate between two adjacent passes and optimization of the tube number of refrigerant route. In the present paper, the LSC was applied in an HFC410A air conditioning system and measured in the standard air enthalpy difference lab. Compared with the prototype HFC410A system, the cooling capacity and EER of the LSC system were 96.4% and 93.8% respectively. The results present the LSC is a poor substitution for the original condenser. The analysis shows HFC410A reduced the performance of LSC by weakening the liquid-vapor separation effect, which results in the condensation process in HFC410A LSC no longer keeping the quasi-constant wall temperature as that in the HCFC22 LSC. The looping refrigerant mass flux in the HFC410A system was 1.2%~9.2% lower than that of HCFC22 system at the same condensation temperature, and the pressure drop of the LSC in HFC410A system was seen to increase by 39.1%~52.6%.

It also shows that, considering easy access and economy of refrigerants, R245fa/R134a combination will be a better choice.
摘要:Based on Peng-Robinson general state equation, combined with group contribution principle and a polynomial method, the thermal state model of the new LGWP refrigerant HFO-1234yf was established and validated with required accuracy. By using the computer programming, the state models were solved by a mathematic software and a complete thermal properties of refrigerant were obtained. The thermal properties of HFO-1234yf were compared with R417A and R134a, and the results showed that the saturated vapor pressure and the specific heat capacity under constant pressure of HFO-1234yf has a similar performance with R134a. Both The saturated vapor pressure of both HFO-1234yf and R134a are lower than R417A, and the saturated state enthalpy of HFO-1234yf is lower than R417A, which would lead that the HFO-1234yf system can not have a higher performance coefficient. The models could act as a theoretical basis for the application of HFO-1234yf in automotive air conditioning and fixed refrigeration equipment.
摘要:Heat exchangers including condenser and evaporator are important equipments in the compression type refrigeration and air conditioning units, and their heat transfer coefficients have a direct effect on the efficiency and cost of the units. The application of the heat transfer enhancement technology is a key route to improve the heat transfer performance of the condenser and evaporator. For the condensation heat transfer enhancement on the tube outside of condenser, the fractured fins of Turbo-C can be separated from the tips to the roots to reduce the effect of the viscous property of condensate on the heat transfer performance at the presence of surface tension. The replacement of the segmental baffles with the helical baffles can improve the flow characteristics and heat transfer performance of the condenser and dry evaporator. Considering the different heat transfer characteristics between the falling film regions and the flooded evaporation regions in the falling film evaporator, different types of enhanced tubes should be used to improve the heat transfer performance of the evaporator.

摘要:This study focuses on the velocity changing characteristics of the horizontal piston wind valves on both sides of the subway station by on-site measurement under winter condition. It has been found that the valve velocity in train-arriving direction presents three typical phases while the valve wind speed in train-leaving direction has two distinct processes. The velocity duration in each phase is investigated and the related ventilation volume is calculated. It has been revealed that the velocity duration of the valve on train-leaving end is longer than that of the valve on train-arriving end. Besides, the maximum and the average velocity values of the valve on train-leaving end are much higher too. It is concluded that, compared with the two single shaft condition, the dual shaft condition has the biggest ventilation volume and the best air-changing effect. The next recommended condition is the single shaft design on train-leaving end.

摘要:Various experiments were conducted to measure the temperature and flow rate of a Joule-Thomson cryostat corresponding to different precooling temperatures of nitrogen and thermalload. The results demonstrated that the steady-state temperature of cryoprobe changed with precooling temperature, and that the greater the thermal load, the lower the requisite precooling temperature of the nitrogen passing through the Joule-Thomson cryostat. The experiments further indicated that too low precooling temperature of nitrogen is not necessary as it may cause a great waste of nitrogen and lower heat exchanger efficiency; and the nitrogen flow rate increased as the outlet temperature of supply nitrogen decreased. The calculated results of nitrogen flow rate correlated well with the experimental measurement.
