An experimental and numerical study of hunting in thermostatic-expansion-valve-controlled evaporators

The dynamic behaviour of a thermostatic-expansion–valve (TEV)-controlled dry-evaporator is studied experimentally and numerically. Although the linear model of the TEV together with the distributed model of the evaporator is able to predict the stable dynamic response of the system adequately, it fails to reproduce the hunting behaviour that is observed under certain operating conditions. A scrutiny of the experimental data reveals the possible existence of hysteresis in the system. The distributed model including the experimentally determined input-output characteristics of the TEV is able to reproduce the main features of the hunting oscillations well. The amplitude and frequency of these oscillations depend on the static superheat setting, the heat load of the evaporator and the time constant of the TEV bulb.     

Continuous formation of slurry ice by cooling water–oil emulsion in a tube

Water-silicone oil emulsion with an additive, (C₂H₅O)₃SiC₃H₆NH₂, was examined as a heat storage material. A spiral tube used as a heat exchanger was immersed in a low temperature bath and the emulsion was circulated in the tube to make ice continuously. Ice was separated from the ice–liquid suspension in an outlet tank. The amount of formed ice, the temperatures of the inlet and the outlet of the heat exchanger, and the temperatures in the tube wall were measured and the overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat flux through the tube were calculated. Experiments were carried out, varying the flow rate, the temperature of cooling brine, and the thickness of tube wall. The condition under which slurry ice was formed continuously without adhesion of ice to the cooling wall was clarified. Though decrease in the thermal resistance of the tube increased the rate of ice formation or raised the brine temperature, it narrowed the range of the flow rate and of the brine temperature in which slurry ice was formed continuously.     

Effects of calcination temperature on phase and microstructure evolution of BaTi4O9 powders

Calcining of the mixture of BaCO₃ and TiO₂ with a ratio 1:4 at different temperatures was carried out to synthesize BaTi₄O₉ powders. Phase evolution of the samples was studied using the differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Both techniques confirmed that the formation of BaTi₄O₉ started around 1000 °C. The XRD peaks showed that BaTi₄O₉ was most pronounced at 1250 °C. X-ray line broadening methods were employed to study the variation of particle size and microstrain of the BaTi₄O₉ powders. The Voigt function in a single line and the pseudo-Voigt function in the variance methods were used in our case. We found that both functions resulted in the same trends, i.e., the particle size increased with the temperature with the biggest size of 180 and 160 nm, whilst the microstrain yielded the opposite trend with the lowest values of 6.2 × 10^–3 and 1.1 × 10^–3. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study revealed the size of the large particles formed, due to agglomeration, to be about 0.5–1.9 μm. Furthermore, it was shown that irregular shapes of BaTi₄O₉ powders necked to each other appeared at 1000 °C and grew into ellipse and rod shapes at 1250 °C. Electronic Publication     

Performance of compression/absorption hybrid refrigeration cycle with propane/mineral oil combination

This paper discusses the feasibility of a vapor compression/absorption hybrid refrigeration cycle for energy saving and utilization of waste heat. The cycle employs propane as a natural refrigerant and a refrigeration oil as an absorbent. A prototype of the cycle is constructed, in which a compressor and an absorption unit are combined in series. The performance of the cycle is examined both theoretically and experimentally. Although the solubility of the propane with the oil is not enough as a working pair in the absorption unit, the theoretical calculation shows that the hybrid cycle has a potential to achieve a higher performance in comparison with a simple vapor compression cycle by using the waste heat. In the experiment, the prototype cycle is operated successfully and it is found that an improvement of an absorber is necessary to achieve the good performance close to the theoretical one. The application of an AHE (absorber heat exchanger) can reduce the heat input to a generator. Further examinations on some other combinations of refrigerant/refrigeration oil and additives are desirable.
