Jet Thermal Compression of the Ammonia-Water Mixture for Heat Pumps and Refrigerating Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The potential and features of thermotransformer operation has been investigated with the employment of jet thermal compression in heat pump or refrigeration cycles. Jet thermal principle is realized by means of injection and compression of the low-pressure steam with the help of working steam jet. It is formed with the help of relaxation vaporization of the subcooled liquid inside motive flow duct of jet compressor instead of the conventional mechanical compressor. It is a part of the jet thermal compression module which includes a liquid-vapor jet compressor, a separator, a pump and a heater. Perspective of application the ammonia-water mixture as working substance is determined by its high thermodynamic and environmental properties, possibility to maintain higher condensation temperatures than when using CFC, HCFC and HFC chemicals.
