Some experimental results for operation of a hydraulic refrigeration system (HRS) using n-butane as the refrigerant.

Author(s) : WHITFIELD K. L., CHAU D. S. C., WOOD B. D., RICE W.

Summary

The principles of the hydraulic refrigeration system and the results of calculations are reviewed. An experimental HRS now in operation is described and some experimental results are compared with predictions calculated using the analytical modeling. Good agreement is shown with regard to both refrigeration rate and the COP achieved. Possible applications for the HRS are discussed, including its use as a component of an energy storage system, in which it is thought to offer some unique advantages. However, the HRS is a generic refrigeration system that may find wide application, especially in industrially underdeveloped parts of the world.
