  2. Adsorption refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption_refrigeration

    The characteristics of the adsorbent/refrigerant pair is crucial in determining the system performance of an adsorption refrigeration system. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] The typical system performance indicators for an adsorption refrigeration system are the coefficient of performance and the specific cooling effect. [ 4 ]

  3. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    A typical large refinery processing 40,000 metric tonnes of crude oil per day (300,000 barrels (48,000 m 3) per day) circulates about 80,000 cubic metres of water per hour through its cooling tower system. The world's tallest cooling tower is the 210 metres (690 ft) tall cooling tower of the Pingshan II Power Station in Huaibei, Anhui Province ...

  4. Cascade refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_refrigeration

    A cascade refrigeration cycle is a multi-stage thermodynamic cycle. An example two-stage process is shown at right. (Bottom on mobile) The cascade cycle is often employed for devices such as ULT freezers. [1] In a cascade refrigeration system, two or more vapor-compression cycles with different refrigerants are used.

  5. Chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller

    A liquid (glycol based) chiller with an air cooled condenser on the rooftop of a medium size commercial building. In air conditioning systems, chilled coolant, usually chilled water mixed with ethylene glycol, from a chiller in an air conditioning or cooling plant is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handlers or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in ...

  6. Glycol chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycol_chiller

    Glycol chillers are a specific kind of refrigeration system, often used to cool a variety of liquids, including alcohol and other beverages. Using a chiller allows producers to lower the temperature of the product dramatically over a short period of time, depending on the production needs.

  7. Natural refrigerant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_refrigerant

    Systems with small charges such as domestic refrigerators, freezers, and portable air conditioners; Stand-alone commercial refrigeration systems including beverage and ice-cream machines; Centralized indirect systems for supermarket refrigeration; Transport refrigeration systems for trucks; Chillers in the range of 1 kW – 150 kW

  8. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve is a key element to a heat pump; this is the cycle that makes air conditioning, or air cooling, possible. A basic refrigeration cycle consists of four major elements: a compressor, a condenser, a metering device and an evaporator. As a refrigerant passes through a circuit containing these four elements, air ...

  9. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [1] [2] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs. The COP is used in thermodynamics.
