摘要:In order to reduce the energy consumption of data center cooling system, a hybrid system combining vapor compression and magnetic pump-driven two phase cooling system was proposed. The results show that the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the pump-driven mode increases firstly then decreases with the increasing of the condenser air face velocity at the outdoor temperature of 15 ℃, and it obtains the maximum value when the condenser air face velocity is 1 m/s. Under the condition of 7.3 kW heat load, the proper switch temperature of two operating modes is obtained by the experiments. Finally, taking Harbin and Shijiazhuang as the example, the best running time ratios of the pump-driven mode are calculated from the simulation.

After 30 times and 60 times circulation of freezing and melting experiment, the phase change temperature and the latent heat were stable. The results showed that the composite has large potential in the cold storage system, especially in cold storage transportation system, because of suitable phase change temperature, high latent heat, and good thermal stability.
摘要:A defrosting control method based on the optimal average performance of an air source heat pump (ASHP) unit is presented. The deterioration point of an ASHP unit is selected as the defrosting initiation criterion. To verify the feasibility and applicability of the defrosting control method based on the optimal average performance, a test apparatus was established in the psychrometric rooms and the defrosting characteristics of an ASHP unit was investigated experimentally for four different defrosting initiation criteria under different frosting conditions. The frost thickness on the fins, the transient input power and heating capacity were measured. Based on the experimental results, the total heating capacity, total power consumption in the whole frosting/defrosting cycles and average COP of the ASHP unit were analyzed. The experimental results indicated that when the deterioration point of the ASHP unit is selected as the defrosting initiation criterion, the average COP in the whole frosting/defrosting cycles is the maximum, which confirmed that this defrosting initiation criterion is feasible and can be used for the optimal defrosting control of an ASHP unit.
摘要:The selection of ionic liquids (ILs) is crucial to the performance of new absorption working pairs (ILs-CO2) and cycle characteristics of absorption refrigeration. The properties of ILs absorbing CO2 are affected directly by ILs’s species, cation structure, temperature and CO2 partial pressure. In this paper, an experimental system was designed and built to measure CO2 solubility in the ILs. On the principle of low viscosity and better absorption performance, four imidazole bis trifluoromethanesulfonimide ILs ([emim][Tf2N], [bmim][Tf2N], [hmim][Tf2N] and [omim][Tf2N]) were selected and the CO2 solubility in them was measured within 2.0 MPa to 5.0 MPa at 298.15 K, 313.15 K and 328.00 K, respectively. The results show that imidazole bis trifluoromethanesulfonimide ILs have a better performance of absorbing CO2; the longer the alkyl chain of the same family ILs is, the larger the solubility is, and the CO2 solubility increases in the order of [emim][Tf2N]

摘要:The thermodynamic property of eutectic liquid in cold plate was analyzed in this paper.A mathematical model has been set up to predict the melting process of cold plate. The melting processes of cold plate with NaCl at ﹣30 ℃ initial temperature were calculated by using numerical method under three environmental temperatures such as ﹣10 ℃, 0 ℃ and 10 ℃. The related experiments were also carried out and the accuracy of the simulation results was verified by the experimental results. The melting process and characteristics of cold plate were obtained under different environmental conditions. The results shows that when environmental temperature is above the eutectic point ﹣21.2 ℃, the environmental temperature will have a great influence on the duration of the melting time as well as the moment for the eutectic to occur phase transition. The computational results are in good agreement with experimental ones. The average deviation of experimental data and computational result is less than 0.5 ℃, which indicates that the mathematical model and the calculating method are reliable.

摘要:In order to make ground-coupled heat pump system operate efficiently in long term, soil needs to be maintained heat balance in an annual cycle. Auxiliary cold source or heat source is needed if necessary. An evaluation method of soil heat balance was proposed, heat balance equation was given, and annual heat balance rate of soil was also defined. Soil heat balance point Δg0 and floating range 80%Δg0~120%Δg0 were derived, where the upper and lower limit correspond to the cold critical region and hot critical region, respectively. According to field data of heat storage, heating and cooling experiments based on the demonstration project, heat balance point was 80% and floating range was 65%~95%, which can be used as indices to measure soil heat balance. Based on the indices, it is evaluated that the ground-coupled heat pump with solar seasonal heat storage (GCHPSSHS) system could be applied to severe cold zone and a part of cold zone A of China. The evaluation method of soil heat balance based on annual heat balance rate can be used to analyze soil heat balance problem of ground-coupled heat pump system with auxiliary cold source or heat source, evaluate the regional applicability of the system, and design an efficient system which can keep soil heat balance.

摘要:The performances of single-stage transcritical CO2 cycle with expander, transcritical CO2 two-stage cycle without intermediate heat exchanger, transcritical CO2 two-stage cycle with intermediate heat exchanger, transcritical CO2 two-stage & primary throttling cycle without intermediate heat exchanger and transcritical CO2 two-stage & primary throttling cycle with intermediate heat exchanger are analyzed in refrigeration condition. The results show that the single-stage expander cycle outperforms the other options when the expander efficiency is 60% at the given evaporation temperature (﹣10 ℃~20 ℃). When the evaporation temperature is 5 ℃ and the expander efficiency is greater than 32% , the performance of expander cycle is the best. In the other four two-stage cycles, transcritical CO2 two-stage cycle without intermediate heat exchanger and transcritical CO2 two-stage cycle with intermediate heat exchanger are reasonable options in medium and high evaporation temperature, and the performance of using internal heat exchanger in cycle is much better; transcritical CO2 two-stage & primary throttling cycle without intermediate heat exchanger and transcritical CO2 two-stage & primary throttling cycle with intermediate heat exchanger are more applicable to medium and low evaporation temperature. And the using of internal heat exchanger decreases the cycle performance.

摘要:The performance of a new ejector is investigated experimentally in this paper. A range of different test points is tested in order to give an overall view of the ejector performance. The motive nozzle inlet temperature is from 19 ℃ to 31 ℃ and the gas cooler outlet pressure is from 6 MPa to 8 MPa. The test facility used in this experimental analysis is a two-phase ejector refrigeration system with R744 as a working fluid. The experiment results show that the ejector works more efficiently when the entrainment ratio changes from 0.4 to 0.8 and the pressure ratio is from 1.09 to 1.20 approximately. Moreover, the best efficiency, which can be achieved when the pressure ratio is 1.132 approximately, is 0.389. The fitted mass flow rate agree well with the experiment results. The experiment results provide a basis for application and design of ejector.
摘要:Extremum Seeking Control (ESC) is a class of self-optimizing control strategy that can search for the unknown or slowly varying optimum input with respect to certain performance index, which is effectively a dynamic realization of the gradient search based on a dither-demodulation scheme. For an air-source transcritical CO2 heat-pump water heater, the discharge pressure setpoint is taken as the input to the ESC controller, while the system COP is taken as the performance index, i.e. the feedback signal for the extremum seeking process. A Modelica based dynamic simulation model is developed to perform the simulation study. Simulations are conducted for several scenarios: a fixed operation condition, change of ambient condition and real time varying ambient temperature conditions. Simulation results show that ESC is able to search both fixed and slowly varying optimum. The steady-state error of optimal discharge pressure is less than 1.0%. Compared to the optimum obtained by model based methods, the optimal discharge pressure deviations are less than 5%. The feasibility and accuracy of ESC control strategy are verified.

摘要:Two different energy efficiency indices EER, COP and APF are both used to evaluate the energy efficiency of room air conditioners, nowadays. In order to compare which air conditioners are more energy-saving, the traditional energy efficiency index EER and COP need to be transformed to APF. This paper presents a method to evaluate APF for room air conditioner by using EER and COP. In the method, APF is transformed to equations referenced to the same intermediate variables including cooling capacity and power consumption under standard condition at first, and then combing the equations of EER and APF to eliminate the intermediate variables. The equation has the capability to calculate APF of room air conditioners with on/off compressor by the energy efficiencies of cooling and heating modes.

摘要:Lotus-type porous copper is a new kind of micro-channel structure with long cylindrical pores aligned in one direction. It can be used as a heat sink for cooling of high-power electronic components. Through experiments and numerical simulations with Flow Simulation, the heat transfer performance of a lotus-type porous copper heat sink with uniform distributed micro-groove was systematically studied. The experimental results showed that this kind of heat sink has an excellent heat transfer coefficient, as high as 10.1 W/(cm2?K), only under a flow rate as low as 110 mL/s. The simulation showed that optimal number and angle of micro-groove existed for the heat sink to reach a maximal equivalent heat transfer coefficient. For water as its coolant, the optimal number and angle of micro-groove were 7-11 and 45°, respectively. And heat transfer performance of the heat sink continuously improved with decreasing of the width of micro-groove. The numerical simulation results were compared with the experimental results, and the reasons for the differences were analyzed.

摘要:In order for better selection and energy saving design of data center air conditioning system, energy consumption models for three types of data center air conditioning, air cooling direct expansion unit, dual cooling source chiller and combined refrigeration unit with heat pipe, were established. The annual energy efficiency ratio (AEER) and annual energy consumption of the three types of air-conditions with the same air conditioning load and return air parameters were calculated and analyzed based on the meteorological data of four cities, i.,e., Harbin、Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in DEST,. The results showed that the AEER of these three units increase along with the decrease of the average temperature from south to north. As a result, the AEER of them are 4.07-4.45、4.00-6.84 and 4.27-8.20. Comparing the combined refrigeration unit with heat pipe with air cooling direct expansion unit and dual cooling source chiller, the energy saving rate of the heat pipe is 4.8%-46% and 6.4%-16.6% respectively. In comparison with the air cooling direct expansion unit, the energy saving of dual cooling source unit are obvious, because it can use natural cooling resource to replace or partially replace the compression refrigeration. Compared with dual cooling source chiller, combined refrigeration unit with heat pipe has the advantages of low refrigerant transporting power, high heat exchange efficiency and anti-freezing. Therefore, combined refrigeration unit with heat pipe is the first choice for the data center air conditioning system in low annual temperature area.
