Development of a Multipurpose Cold Storage Design Software MCS_BCKV v.1.14.1
The paper proposes development of an interactive, flexible and user friendly software for designing a multipurpose cold storage in Visual Studio Express Desktop 2012 environment and evaluation. The developed software “MCS_BCKV” has a criterion for typical load estimation and designing of cold storage, selection of evaporator, compressor and condenser in developing country. Load estimating and designing through computer automation is likely to make a positive impact in the dynamic nature of cold storage applications. -
Development of User Friendly Software to Design Dairy Heat Exchanger and Performance Evaluation
The paper proposes a calculation algorithm and development of a software in Visual Basic(Visual Studio 2012 Express Desktop) used in heat transfer studies when different heat exchangers are involved (e.g. Helical Type Triple Tube Heat Exchanger , Plate Type Heat Exchanger).It includes the easy calculation of heat transfer co-efficient and followed by the design and simulation of heat exchanger design parameter by inputting general known parameters of a heat exchanger into the developed software DAIRY-HE. A parametric study is conducted using the software interface to determine the length of tubes or dimensions of heat exchanger. Development of User-Friendly Software to Design Dairy Heat Exchanger and Performance Evaluation. -
Simulation and optimization of a LiBr solar absorption cooling system with evacuated tube collectors
Solar radiation is a clean form of energy, which is required for almost all natural processes on earth. Solar-powered air-conditioning has many advantages when compared to a conventional electrical system. This paper presents a solar cooling system that has been designed for Malaysia and similar tropical regions using evacuated tube solar collectors and LiBr absorption unit. The modeling and simulation of the absorption solar cooling system is carried out with TRNSYS program. The typical meteorological year file containing the weather parameters for Malaysia is used to simulate the system. The results presented show that the system is in phase with the weather, i.e. the cooling demand is large during periods that the solar radiation is high. In order to achieve continuous operation and increase the reliability of the system, a 0.8m 3 hot water storage tank is essential. The optimum system for Malaysia's climate for a 3.5kW (1 refrigeration ton) system consists of 35m 2 evacuated tubes solar collector sloped at 20°.
