Utilizing waste heat from the refrigeration cycle by using a two-stage heat exchanger

Abstract EN

Refrigeration, and air conditioning systems are designed to transport heat from internal spaces or products and discard it into the surrounding.

Refutation of heat might happen in a straight line to the air, as in the case of most conventional units of air-source, or to water flowing from a cooling tower.

This heat is of a "low-grade diversity", it still signifies wasted energy.

According to the viewpoint of energy conservation, it would be necessary to regain this heat in a serviceable form.

In this research, a practical study aims to collect the heat emitted from the cooling condenser by 35% and exploit it in heating hot water for domestic purposes, in addition to other uses, including reducing the consumption of electrical energy as a result of exploiting and collecting waste heat, from cooling devices using a system consisting of two types of helical heat exchangers and two stages.

The first stage consists of a tube-in-tube helical exchanger and the second stage includes a tube-in-shell heat exchanger using R410A refrigerant.

The EES engineering equation solving program was used to solve the numerical equations that are used to solve problems related to thermodynamics, due to its high accuracy in solving equations, extracting values and graphs, and calculating the performance coefficient of the COP to obtain better efficiency for the work of the system, as it was found that the higher the temperature, As a result of increasing the flow rate of deionized water, the percentage of performance coefficient of COP has increased to 15% , which should range from (12.5-40) % , which leads to an increase in the efficiency of the Refrigeration, and air conditioning systems are designed to transport heat from internal spaces or products and discard it into the surrounding.
