Performance Analysis of Thermal Storage Assisted Cooling Tower with Night Cooling

Abstract

Integrating two water storage tanks to the new cooling systems enable to use low continuous flow rate.  The new models reduce the mass flow rate to 1/3 and air mass flow rate to 0.69 of the regular models.  The water storage tank capacity can be reduced by increasing the number of tanks.  The new cooling systems provide lower condenser inlet water temperature and higher performance.

Numerical Analysis of Using R449A Refrigerant Alternative to R404A in Cooling Systems: 3E-Analysis (Energetic, Exergetic, and Environmental)

“…In recent years, the main environmental goals have been to reduce carbon emissions and the impact of global warming. Cooling systems and the refrigerants used play an important role in the increase of greenhouse gases [1,2]. Conventional refrigerants are known to have a high Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and destroy the ozone layer when released into the atmosphere.…”
