Experimental investigations on the performance of a thermo-mechanical refrigeration system utilizing ultra-low temperature waste heat sources by Ahmad K. Sleiti (14778229)

“…At a heat source temperature of 85 °C, a condenser water temperature of 15 °C, and an evaporator water temperature of 33 °C, the energy efficiency of the ORC and COP of the VCC are increased to 9.85 % and 3.99, respectively. For the cooling quality, the TMR system shows a minimum evaporator temperature of −10 °C using R134a in both the power and cooling loop, which is improved to lower than −20 °C by using R407C in the cooling loop. …”
