With the improvement of people's living standards all over the world, the demand for cooling (both space cooling and … refrigeration) continues to grow. The increase in cooling-related energy consumption has a growing impact on global climate change …. The importance of improving the energy efficiency of cooling systems is increasing. This paper introduces a series of …

The design of a four-bed three-stage adsorption cycle has been proposed to reduce the volume of the six-bed three …-stage adsorption cycle. A simulation model for the proposed innovative cycle was developed to analyse the influence of cycle time on … the system performance identifying the specific cooling power (<i>SCP</i>) and coefficient of performance (<i>COP</i>). A …

ceiling insulation on the cooling load of gable-roof residential buildings are investigated based on the simulation of … ceiling insulation. Furthermore, it is predicted that the ceiling insulation plays a control role on the attic cooling load … and that an increase of roof pitch from 3/12 to 8/12 results in a decrease in the cooling load by around 9% in the …
