The purpose of the system is to supply the heating needs of a room in winter season and to meet the electricity requirement of the equipment used in this system. In the analysis of the installed system, different refrigerants (10% mono propylene glycol + 90% water and 0.5% Al2O3-water nanofluid) were tested at three different flow rates (0.4 m3/h, 0.5 m3/h, 0.6 m3/h). Throughout the experiments, the fan-coil air outlet temperature used to heat the room was adjusted to 35 °C with an inverter and a process control device. The results attained from the experiments carried out using different fluids throughout different months and days (April-May) have demonstrated that the thermal and electrical efficiencies of the system are found to be in good agreement with each other when evaluated in terms of the fluids utilized. The highest electrical energy recovery was found as 268 W at 0.6 m3/h flow rate for propylene glycol-water mixture and 194 W at 0.5 m3/h flow rate for nanomixture. The total thermal energy efficiency for the system using different fluids was found to be around 22%. The total thermal energy gain of the system was also calculated as 2312 W at 0.6 m3/h for the propylene glycol mixture and 2041 W at 0.5 m3/h for the nanomixture.","PeriodicalId":14438,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermodynamics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46462554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, proper strategies need to be implemented for online compressor washing to be effective since it is conducted when the engine is in operation. This study presents an experimental investigation of wash fluid preheating on the effectiveness of online compressor washing in a suction wind tunnel compressor cascade. Crude oil was uniformly applied on the compressor cascade blade surfaces using a roller brush, and consequently carborundum particles were ingested into the tunnel to create accelerated fouled blades. Demineralized water was preheated to 50 ⁰ C using a heat coil provided in the tank. Washing of the fouled blades were conducted using single flat fan nozzle, where the preheated and non-preheated demineralized water were used separately to wash the fouled blades. When fouled blades washed with preheated demineralized and the non-preheated were compared, it was observed that there was little or no difference in terms of total pressure loss coefficient and exit flow angle. However, when the fouled and washed cases were compared, there was a significant difference in total pressure loss coefficient and exit flow angle.","PeriodicalId":14438,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermodynamics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46230217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
