We'll discuss the refrigeration cycle using the cycle diagram below. Component #1 is the compressor. It takes refrigerant vapor in from the low pressure side of the circuit, and discharges it at a ...

The basic refrigeration cycle applies to all air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This is the method in which refrigerant is contained and circulated through the system in order to absorb ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a novel potential means of alternative refrigeration: ionocaloric cooling. The method involves electrically charged atoms or ...

Based on a presentation to the GPA Europe Annual Conference, Prague, Sept. 21-23, 2011. Operational scenarios for two uses of a new refrigeration process for recovering NGLs from natural gas have ...

A while back, I addressed the energy savings potentials behind a drain waste heat recovery heat exchanger. It has the potential of reducing energy consumption of residential applications by as much as ...

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has demonstrated a 100kW class cryogenic organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power generation system using a nitrogen-based, oilless cryogenic turbine generator. ORC systems are ...
