Summary

Natural gas is used as the energy source to cope with the recent situation of increasing demand for electricity especially in summer. The performance of a Rankine cycle air conditioning system driven by natural gas is studied. The following results are obtained: 1) basic equations of performance, refrigerant mass flow rate and expander volume are developed by using the values of heating efficiency, regeneration efficiency, expander efficiency and compressor efficiency; 2) R134a refrigerant is considered to be suitable for the Rankine cycle air conditioning system, compared with other refrigerants; 3) a Rankine cycle cooling system using R134a refrigerant as a single working fluid was developed. System COP of 0.47 was attained under typical operating conditions.
