AbstractThe present study evaluates the possibilities of increasing the efficiency in refrigeration and heat pump systems based on compression cycles by means of using the compressor heat losses. In order to do that, the work been divided in the following parts: development of a model of a thermoelectric device in order to estimate the amount of energy recovery from the heat source, experimental test under several contour conditions to estimate the real temperature difference maintained in a thermoelectric module in contact with compressor wall and based on this information estimation of the potential amount of energy that can be recovered by this kind of system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
