A cascade heat pump is used to absorb latent heat of steam condensation. After twice compressions, the temperature of the working fluid is sufficiently high to vaporize liquid water. The heat pump fully utilizes thermal energy instead of direct electric heating, saving 65% of power consumption. Abstract Waste heat recovery is common in high‐temperature

In this work, pumped thermal energy storage systems based on a transcritical CO2 charging process are investigated. A two‐zone water storage tank with a storage temperature of 115°C is used as thermal energy storage. For discharge, an Organic Rankine Cycle and, alternatively, a transcritical CO2 heat engine are investigated.

Mixture Condensation of Ethanol/Water and Ethanol/Siloxane in a Vertical Double Pipe
Experimental data is presented for mixture and pure fluid condensation within a wide composition range. Influential parameters for the heat transfer deterioration of mixtures are discussed. The results enable an explicit calculation of condensation heat transfer coefficients depending on the mixture composition.

The flow boiling heat transfer performance of R22 and R407c, in a microfin tube with a helix angle of 22° and an apex angle of 48°, was evaluated in a study. The study is aimed at investigating the impact of heat flux, mass flux, saturation temperature, and vapor quality on the heat transfer coefficient during flow boiling.

Performance Improvement of OTEC‐ORC and Turbine Based on Binary Zeotropic Working Fluid
In this paper, the composition of binary nonazeotropic working fluids is explored from the perspective of improving OTEC‐ORC efficiency, and the turbine is designed to accommodate with the working fluid. It is found that the OTEC‐ORC using a R152a/R32 mixture as the working fluid is significantly higher than the OTEC‐ORC thermal efficiency and system ...

Cooling applications that utilize latent heat property of fluids involve large heat transfer and throw more space for energy conservative research studies. Heating ventilation air‐conditioning and refrigeration systems, which have now grown as an integral part in human life, circulate refrigerants and necessitate developments to become energy‐efficient.
