Some experimental results for operation of a hydraulic refrigeration system (HRS) using n-butane as the refrigerant.
Author(s) : RICE W., WHITFIELD K. L., CHAU D. S. C., WOOD B. D.
Summary
The HRS, a recent invention, is a vapour-compression refrigeration system, not an absorption system, and accomplishes the compression and condensation processes in a very unconventional way. Its principles are reviewed in the paper. A large experimental HRS now in operation is described, and some experimental results are compared with predictions calculated using analytical modeling. Good agreement was found. Possible applications are discussed, including use in energy storage systems. However, the HRS can find wide application, especially in industrially underdeveloped parts of the world.
