Download or read book Refrigeration Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps written by Fabio Polonara and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps (RACHP) have an important impact on the final energy uses of many sectors of modern society, such as residential, commercial, industrial, transport, and automotive. Moreover, RACHP also have an important environmental impact due to the working fluids that deplete the stratospheric ozone layer, which are being phased out according to the Montreal Protocol (1989). Last, but not least, high global working potential (GWP), working fluids (directly), and energy consumption (indirectly) are responsible for a non-negligible quota of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere, thus impacting climate change.

Download or read book HVAC Compressors A Comprehensive Guide written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HVAC compressors are essential components of HVAC systems. They are responsible for compressing refrigerant gas, which is then circulated through the system to absorb heat from the indoor air and transfer it to the outdoor air. HVAC compressors are used in a variety of HVAC systems, including air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators. There are three main types of HVAC compressors: reciprocating, screw, and scroll. Reciprocating compressors are the oldest and most common type of compressor. They use a piston mechanism to compress refrigerant gas. Screw compressors use two intermeshing screws to compress refrigerant gas. Scroll compressors use two intermeshed scrolls to compress refrigerant gas. HVAC compressors typically last for 8-10 years, but they can last longer with proper maintenance. To extend the life of your HVAC compressor, it is important to have your HVAC system inspected and serviced by a qualified HVAC technician at least once a year. You should also change the air filter in your HVAC system every 1-3 months and keep the outdoor unit of your HVAC system clean and free of debris. If you think your HVAC compressor is failing, it is important to contact a qualified HVAC technician immediately. Early detection and repair of a failing compressor can help to extend the life of your HVAC system and save you money on your energy bills. When choosing an HVAC compressor, it is important to consider the following factors: Efficiency: The efficiency of the compressor will affect your energy bills. More efficient compressors will use less energy to operate. Noise: Some compressors are louder than others. If you have a bedroom near your outdoor HVAC unit, you may want to choose a quieter compressor. Cost: The cost of the compressor is also an important consideration. Reciprocating compressors are the least expensive type of compressor, while scroll compressors are the most expensive. It is also important to consider the size of your HVAC system and the climate you live in when choosing an HVAC compressor. If you have a large HVAC system or live in a hot climate, you may need to choose a more powerful compressor. If you are not sure which type of HVAC compressor is right for you, it is best to consult with a qualified HVAC technician. They can help you to choose the right compressor for your needs and budget. By following these tips, you can extend the life of your HVAC compressor and choose the best compressor for your needs and budget.
Download or read book Heat Pumps for Sustainable Heating and Cooling written by Y. H. Venus Lun and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the significance of using sustainable energy to prevent the deterioration of our planet using heat pumps. Energy sustainability can be achieved through improved energy efficiency. In this regard, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative for heating and cooling. To drive the adoption of heat pumps as a key component of sustainable buildings, the authors focus on examining sustainable practices in heat pump operations and innovative system design. In view of the growing desire to use sustainable energy to meet heating and cooling demands and improve indoor air quality, this book offers a valuable reference guide to the available options in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system design. To begin with, the authors define sustainable energy and discuss the trend of “thinking green” in building design. They then discuss sustainable practices and heat pump applications in mapping out HVAC systems. In turn, they examine the use of green operations to promote sustainable practices and, in order to highlight the importance of innovative design, discuss the configuration options and precision control aspects. In closing, the authors illustrate innovative sustainable design on the basis of several energy-efficient cases. The book’s main goal is to drive the adoption of sustainable energy solutions. Heat pumps, it argues, represent the most efficient system for meeting commercial/recreational/residential heating and cooling demands. The book not only examines industrial practices in heat pump application, but also discusses advanced heat pump technologies and innovative heat pump designs.
