Feasibility of air cycle systems for building air conditioning systems.

Author(s) : GERWEN R. J. M. van, VERSCHOOR M. J. E.

Summary

Air cycle systems, based on the Joule-Brayton thermodynamic cycle, are promising for specific applications in refrigeration, like blast freezing. The techno-economic feasibility of an air cycle combined cooling and heat pump system has been investigated. In that case, the air cycle acts as a combined cooling, heating, ventilating, humidifying and dehumidifying unit. Relatively simple system calculations have been carried out, derived from complex simulation models. As the main result of the study, air cycle systems for air conditioning applications seem to be able to compete with conventional all-air systems.
