The effect of heat-pipe air-handling coil on energy consumption in central air-conditioning system

Thermal efficiency of heat pipe with alumina nanofluid

“…It can also make use of the change of geometrical shape to transfer heat to the suitable heat dissipation zone, without being limited by the surrounding space of the heating component. Heat pipe has been extensively applied to the cooling system for electronic components, pre-cooling device for air-conditioning system, and solar collectors [1][2][3].…”

Analysis of annual energy savings in air conditioning using different heat pipe heat exchanger configurations integrated with and without evaporative cooling

“…J.W. Wan et al [4] investigated the effect of heat pipe on energy consumption in a central air-conditioning system. The study indicated that a central air conditioning system can significantly reduce its energy consumption and improve both the indoor thermal comfort and air quality when HPHX is employed in the air conditioning process.…”

Experimental and Numerical Study of a Heat Pipe Based Indirect Porous Ceramic Evaporative Cooler

“…In the literature many research studies conducted on heat pipes applications in building cooling including HVAC systems [27], heat recovery systems [28], dehumidification enhancement of air conditioning systems [29]. But only limited research work on the applications of heat pipes in indirect evaporative cooling systems for building cooling, that is reviewed as follows: Riffat and Zhu [24] introduced new configuration of indirect evaporative cooling system incorporating horizontal heat pipe.…”
