Performance optimization of low-temperature power generation by supercritical ORCs (organic Rankine cycles) using low GWP (global warming potential) working fluids

Energy, 2014
This paper presents the system efficiency optimization scenarios of basic and regenerative supercritical \ORCs\ (organic Rankine cycles) using low-GWP (global warming potential) organic compounds as working fluid. A more common refrigerant, i.e. R134a, was also employed to make the comparison.

Thermodynamic performance assessment of carbon dioxide blends with low-global warming potential (GWP) working fluids for a heat pump water heater

International Journal of Refrigeration, 2015
Blends of CO2 with ten low-global warming potential (GWP) working fluids are evaluated for use in a heat pump water heater. The effects that the discharge pressure, component ratio, hot-water outlet temperature and chilled water inlet temperature have on the coefficient of performance (COP) of heat pump are analyzed when the pinch point of the heat ...

Simulation of global warming potential (GWP) from rice fields in the Tai-Lake region, China by coupling 1:50,000 soil database with DNDC model

Atmospheric Environment, 2009
Abstract Quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wetland ecosystems is a relatively new issue in global climate change studies. China has approximately 22% of the world's rice paddies and 38% of the world's rice production, which are crucial to accurately estimate the global warming potential (GWP) at regional scale.

Thermodynamic analysis of carbon dioxide blends with low GWP (global warming potential) working fluids-based transcritical Rankine cycles for low-grade heat energy recovery

Energy, 2014
Abstract Carbon dioxide is a promising natural working fluid that can be used in transcritical Rankine cycles due to environmental and safety concerns. However, the high operation pressure has to be reduced and the relatively low efficiency of the system has to be increased.

A model‐based approach to the calculation of global warming potentials (GWP)

International Journal of Climatology, 1992
AbstractThe Global Warming Potential (GWP) of greenhouse gas emissions can be defined as a greenhouse pendant to the Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP). Global Warming Potentials are calculated for the most important greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, CO, N2O, CFC‐11, CFC‐12, CFC‐13, CFC‐14, CFC‐113, CFC‐114, CFC‐115, CFC‐116, CF3Br, CCl4, CH3CCl3, and HCFC‐22 ...

Atmospheric chemistry of short-chain haloolefins: Photochemical ozone creation potentials (POCPs), global warming potentials (GWPs), and ozone depletion potentials (ODPs)

Chemosphere, 2015
Short-chain haloolefins are being introduced as replacements for saturated halocarbons. The unifying chemical feature of haloolefins is the presence of a CC double bond which causes the atmospheric lifetimes to be significantly shorter than for the analogous saturated compounds.

A guide to global warming potentials (GWPs)

Energy Policy, 1993
Abstract In order to quantitatively compare the greenhouse effect of different greenhouse gases a global warming potential (GWP) index has been used which is based on the ratio of the radiative forcing of an equal emission of two different gases, integrated either over all time or up to an arbitrarily determined time horizon.
