Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

Creator:: Seward, Ryan
Abstract:: The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...

Power Cycle Selection and Optimization for a Small Modular Reactor

Creator:: Kissick, Sean M.
Abstract:: As a way to improve safety and economics, one area of research and commercialization of new nuclear power plants has focused on the development of small modular reactors (SMRs). NuScale Power has developed a 50 MWe natural convection cooling SMR coupled with a regenerative Rankine cycle. Current estimates place the...

Performance enhancement of a thermally activated cooling system using microchannel heat exchangers

Creator:: Wang, Hailei and Peterson, Richard B.
Abstract:: In the current study a thermally activated cooling system that combines an ORC system with a vapor compression cooling cycle was developed and tested under laboratory conditions. This combined system can utilize waste heat or other thermal sources such as solar and geothermal to generate power and cooling. Hot oil...

Modeling and optimization of a combined cycle Stirling-ORC system and design of an integrated microchannel Stirling heat rejector

Creator:: Ingram-Goble, Robbie
Abstract:: The performance of a combined Stirling-ORC power cycle is evaluated, and an integrated microchannel heat exchanger is designed as an annular cold-side heat rejector for a free piston Stirling engine. Reasonable designs for a combined cycle can increased power output efficiency by 3 - 9% compared to that of a...

Design and performance of a small scale waste heat recovery unit

Creator:: Ward, Christopher
Abstract:: A microchannel heat exchanger was designed for diesel waste heat recovery and its performance was evaluated. The 21x15x8 cm unit was constructed from diffusion brazed stainless steel lamina and weighed 11 kg. Operating from a 13.4 kW generator with an exhaust temperature of 500 °C the unit delivered 11.1 kW...

Investigation of Seasonal Performance of a Membrane Heat Pump System in Different Climate Regions

Creator:: Bukshaisha, Ahmad A.
Abstract:: Membrane based heat pumps systems have attracted the attention of many research groups as a potentially more environmentally friendly alternative to vapor compression systems that are being used for space cooling in 90\% of the buildings in the United States. Several prototypes systems have been developed, with reported claims of...

Half Array Architecture for Advancing Microchannel Heat Recuperation to Market

Creator:: Brannon, Samuel T.
Abstract:: High temperature microchannel heat recuperators (HTμRs) offer an efficient means of improving reactor process thermal efficiency by offering smaller form factors due to increased heat transfer surface area density and volumetric heat transfer rate over traditional heat exchanger designs. To date, HTμRs face cost and reliability challenges. In this work,...

Development of a small scale scroll expander

Creator:: Harada, Kevin J.
Abstract:: The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a versatile approach in the utilization of waste heat in the production of electricity, clean drinking water, and cooling. The efficiency of these cycles must be maximized to make them economical. Parameters for the optimization of ORCs such as evaporator and condenser temperature have...

Performance of a combined organic Rankine cycle and vapor compression cycle for heat activated cooling

Creator:: Wang, Hailei, Peterson, Richard, Harada, Kevin, Miller, Erik, Ingram-Goble, Robbie, Fisher, Luke, Yih, James, and Ward, Chris
Abstract:: Heat activated cooling has the potential of utilizing thermal sources that currently go unused such as engine exhaust heat or industrial waste heat. Using these heat sources can provide enhanced energy utilization and reduced fuel usage in applications where cooling is needed. The concept developed here uses waste heat from...
