Abstract
The traditional vapor injection high-temperature heat pump cycle (VIHPC) has the shortcomings of high compression ratio and limited make-up gas volume for vapor injection, in order to make up for this shortcoming, this paper proposes a dual ejector enhanced vapor injection high temperature heat pump cycle (DEHPC), in which dual ejectors are used, in which the function of ejector 1 is to enhance the refrigerant pressure at the compressor inlet, while the function of ejector 2 is to enhance the make-up gas volume for vapor injection. R1233zd(E) was used as the working fluid for energy analysis and exergy analysis of the two heat pump cycles. The simulation results show that the heating coefficient of performance (COPh), exergy efficiency (ηex), and make-up gas volume for vapor injection (mi) of DEHPC are better than those of VIHPC. Specifically, the COPh, ηex, and mi of DEHPC are improved by 8.8 %-13.4 %, 8.5 %-13.6 %, and 50 %-74.5 %, respectively, compared with VIHPC. In this paper, the performance of VIHPC is enhanced by the reasonable arrangement of double ejectors in the heat pump, which provides a new idea for the research of heat pump system and proposes a novel and efficient high-temperature heat pump system for factories that need high-temperature heat source.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
