“…The coefficient of waste heat cooling (WCOP) was found to be of 0.31. Jiangzhou et al (2002), has designed a refrigerator for a locomotive driver's cabin. The cooling power of such a system under typical running conditions ranged from 3 to 5 kW, with a COP of 0.21.…”

An adsorption air conditioning unit of two beds was designed and built. Each bed was constructed from two concentric copper pipes sets, the length of the pipes in each set was 1500 mm pipe. The inner pipe was 50 mm in diameter while the outer pipe was of 100 mm diameter. The inside surface of the outer pipe and the outside surface of the inner pipe were covered by two active carbon layers which were separated from each other by a 5 mm space, to allow for methanol vapour penetration through the two layers. Each bed was inserted in a metal pipe to convey the hot stream of exhaust gases, to form a two passes heat exchanger. To complete the adsorption air conditioner cycle, an evaporator and condenser were connected to the two beds. Exhaust gases were produced by a propane burner, which can be adjusted to deliver hot gases at a temperature range of 80 to 140°C. The work showed that there was direct relationship between the hot gas temperatures that was used to heat the bed and the chilled water temperature. When the hot gases temperature exceeded 120°C, the whole cycle time increased along with a slight increase in chilled water temperature with a reduction in COP. A minimum chilled water temperature of 7.6°C was obtained. This chilled water was supplied to a fan coil unit to maintain an inside temperature of 24.2°C for a 600 Watt conditioned space load. The maximum cycle COP was about 0.31 when the hot gas temperature was 120°C.

“…In India, Agarwal (2007) utilized biodiesel for internal combustion engines and confirmed that biodiesel can be used in engine without further modification. Jiangzhou et al (2002) used a cabin adsorption air-conditioner for cooling system, employing zeolite-water as working pairs. It was driven by the waste heat from the exhaust gas of engines.…”

ABSTRACT:A compact, stand-alone, refrigeration module powered by a small biodiesel engine for vaccine storage in rural use was proposed. The engine was of single cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection with displacement of 0.296 cm 3 and compression ratio of 20:1. The refrigeration system was modified from an automotive vapor compression system. The system performance was analytically investigated. From the simulation, it was found to have acceptable operation over a range of speeds and loads. Performance of the system in terms of fuel consumption and torque tended to decrease with an increase in engine speed. The modular system was able to operate at cooling loads above 4.6 kW, with proper speed ratio between the engine and the compressor. Overall, primary energy ratio of the refrigeration was found to be maximum at 0.54.

“…Their work was focused on the development of a system driven by the exhaust gases for automotive applications. Wang et al [5,6,7] presented a detailed dynamic model of an adsorption system and experimental results of a prototype for cabin air-conditioning of a locomotive. The system was also operated by the waste heat of the exhaust gases.…”
