Objectives Learn about Cooling towers Cooling cycles
Cooling Tower • Similar to an evaporative cooler, but the purpose is often to cool water • Widely used for heat rejection in HVAC systems • Also used to reject industrial process heat
Solution • Can get from Stevens diagram (page 272) • Can also be used to determine • Minimum water temperature • Volume of tower required • Can be evaluated as a heat exchanger by conducting NTU analysis
Summary • Heat rejection is often accomplished with devices that have direct contact between air and water • Evaporative cooling • Can construct analysis of these devices • Requires parameters which need to be measured for a specific system
Vapor Compression Cycle Expansion Valve
Efficiency • First Law • Coefficient of performance, COP • COP = useful refrigerating effect/net energy supplied • COP = qr/wnet • Second law • Refrigerating efficiency, ηR • ηR = COP/COPrev • Comparison to ideal reversible cycle
Efficiency • First Law • Coefficient of performance, COP • COP = useful refrigerating effect/net energy supplied • COP = qr/wnet • Second law • Refrigerating efficiency, ηR • ηR = COP/COPrev • Comparison to ideal reversible cycle
Carnot Cycle No cycle can have a higher COP • All reversible cycles operating at the same temperatures (T0, TR) will have the same COP • For constant temp processes • dq = Tds • COP = TR/(T0 – TR)
Carnot Vapor-Compression Cycle • Figure 3.2
Get Real • Assume no heat transfer or potential or kinetic energy transfer in expansion valve • COP = (h3-h2)/(h4-h3) • Compressor displacement = mv3
Example • R-22 condensing temp of 30 °C (86F) and evaporating temp of 0°C (32 F) • Determine • qcarnot wcarnot • Diminished qR and excess w for real cycle caused by throttling and superheat horn • ηR
Subcooling and Superheating • Refrigerant may be subcooled in condenser or in liquid line • Temperature goes below saturation temperature • Refrigerant may be superheated in evaporator or in vapor (suction) line • Temperature goes above saturation temperature
