    The collector and absorberAbsorber are the two main components most influential in obtaining high solarSolar thermal performance. This study used a 30 × 30 cm Fresnel lens under a xenon lamp to improve the temperature generation performance. The materials photothermal absorbersAbsorber used are coal, andesite, and pumice, with an average granular structure diameter of 1.68–2 mm. This study aims to examine the effect of Fresnel lenses on the temperature generation performance of natural materials with granular as light trap structures and investigate which materials have the best performance. This study used an experimental method with dry and wet conditions in distilled water (H<inf>2</inf>O). The results show that the use of Fresnel lenses improves temperature generation performance. The best materials sequence in wet conditions are andesite, coal, and pumice. While in dry conditions are coal, andesite, and pumice. The heat generated has the potential to be applied to low and medium-temperature solarSolar thermal technology.

    Particulate matter (PM) accumulation on the leaves of two trees and two shrubs were examined for 14 days to study the ability of broad leaves to capture particulate matter in Japan. Two healthy mature leaf samples of each specimen were carefully collected and analyzed through the gravimetric analysis method (four filtration steps). PM in different divisions can be captured and deposited inside the leaf foliage. Fine particles were the highest portion of the PM content captured by the analyzed trees. Leaf features such as hair and wax have been associated with high PM accumulation as presented in Toxicodendron succedaneum (waxy glossy leaves) which was the most effective species among the analyzed species for all PM fraction divisions (PM10, PM 2.5, and PM 0.2), and Prunus × yedoensis (hairy leaves) that captured the largest portion of ultra-fine PM. The surface area has no effect on the accumulation of particulate matter since the Ficus erecta shrub has the largest surface area, but the lowest portions of PM among of the investigated species.

    For the current Maisotsenko cycle based humidification dehumidification desalination system, thermodynamic analysis is performed where steady state conditions are assumed. Mass balance, salt balance, energy balance and entropy balance equations are solved in order to determine the performance parameters of the system. The thermodynamic model is validated with the experimental work, and good agreement is found between both with the maximum relative error of approximately 6%. It is found that higher amount of desalinated water is produced as the air flow rate increases. It is also seen that as the mass flow rate ratio increases, the performance decreases. The variation of entropy generation rate versus mass flow rate ratio is also discussed.

    Over the past three decades, solar energy has gained a lot of attention because of its energy potential and environmental-friendly aspect. To estimate its energy potential, most researchers use satellite approximation solar radiation data or imagery as their only data source, which is not sufficient as the images are taken high above the ground which results in the loss of the part of the resolution, and besides that, they also lack the hourly or daily variations, which is a critical component for an accurate estimation. This paper aims to provide the renewable energy research community with a low-cost and portable remote sensor for ground-based solar radiation and related data measurement. The remote sensor comprises a series of low-cost and accurate sensors, a single board computer, two Arduino micro-controllers, two Real Time Clocks, two mini-solar panels, an internet modem, two onboard batteries and six (6) relays, all interfaced in the Python Programming Language. The operation of the remote sensor is discussed in this paper along with a survey of its energy consumption. Data validation was done by comparing our recorded data with the Japan Weather Station data, and the result showed an accuracy of about 90%.

  • Experimental investigation of the effect of preheating on the performance of a novel thermally driven pumping system Reviewed

    This paper presents the attempt made to develop a new configuration of a thermally driven pumping system. A vertical narrow evaporation channel and displacer unit concepts were introduced to implement the TPP cycle in a liquid piston configuration. An experimental setup was developed to investigate the performance and characteristics of the system. For a heat source temperature of 60 ºC, it was possible to attain the delivery pressures up to 174kPa using isopentane as a working fluid. The corresponding thermal efficiency of the system was in the range of 0.5 - 0.7%, which is found to be higher than the literature. The effect of introduction of preheating times (PHT) on the system performance was investigated and it was found that for a short critical PHT, the efficiency of the system improves by the order of 2%. However, longer periods were observed to deteriorate the system performance. The results seem to suggest that the boiling process in the evaporation channel may be in the subcooled pool boiling regime when the system is operating without the preheating periods, as the thermal demand of the system is lower, and it operates at a higher frequency in such conditions.

    An adsorption chiller requires thermal energy to regenerate the adsorbent by desorbing the refrigerant vapor. Minimum desorption temperature is the parameter which defines the lowest possible heat source temperature required for driving adsorption chiller. In this study minimum desorption temperature is evaluated for different types of adsorption isotherms classified by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). For each type, adsorption isotherm model is utilized to estimate the minimum desorption temperature and then compared to the mathematical expression reported in literature derived using Dubinin-Astakhov isotherm model. This allows for critical scrutiny of the universal validity of mathematical expression. It is observed that this expression can estimate the minimum desorption temperature with reasonable accuracy for all isotherm models.

    Adsorption chillers can utilize low grade thermal energy, replacing the mechanical compression process of conventional chillers with thermal compression. However, majority of the adsorption chillers developed are bulky due to low volumetric uptake and poor heat transfer. This paper uses an activated carbon based composite adsorbent to mitigate the above mentioned drawbacks. This composite contains expanded graphite as thermal conductivity enhancer. A 2-dimensional transient thermal analysis is employed to simulate the adsorption dynamics of ethanol (refrigerant) on the composite adsorbent and loosely packed parent activated carbon powder. The comparative study reveals that the use of composite adsorbent leads to multi-fold rise in volumetric cooling capacity and a marginal increase in coefficient of performance when compared to parent material. Thus, use of composite adsorbents can potentially lead to the development of compact and efficient adsorption chillers.

    This paper presents an advanced desalination cycle called "MEDAD" desalination which is a hybrid of the traditional multi-effect distillation (MED) and the newly-patented adsorption cycle (AD). The combined cycles break the operating regime of conventional MED system and allow some stages to operate below ambient temperature, as low as 5°C in contrast to the conventional MED: The MEDAD cycle results in a quantum increase of distillate production at the same top-brine condition. Being lower than the ambient temperature for the bottom stages of hybrid, ambient energy can now be scavenged by the MED processes whilst the AD cycle is powered by low temperature waste heat from exhaust or renewable sources. In this paper, we present the experiments of a 3-stage MED and MEDAD plants that were fabricated and installed in the air-conditioning laboratory of the National University of Singapore. These plants have been tested at assorted heat source temperatures from 15°C to 70°C. All system states are monitored including the stages temperature and distillate production. It is observed that the synergetic matching of MEDAD cycle led to a quantum increase in distillate production, up to 2.5 to 3 folds vis-a-vis to a conventional MED of the same rating.

    This paper presents the modeling and successful operation of a miniaturized Pressurized Adsorption Chiller (PAC) which utilizes Propane as the adsorbate and activated carbon as the adsorbent. The Propane + Activated Carbon Pair has previously been found to be able to function under adverse conditions where low temperature refrigeration is required, placed at high ambient temperature locales. This work focuses on the modeling of the pressure equalization process, and the feasibility of the working pair. A maximum cooling load of 7W is tested for the various cycle times. Experimentally, it has been found to successfully provide cooling, albeit with a low COP (<0.5), typical of waste heat driven systems.

    Adsorption Desalination cum Cooling (ADC) process is a cost effective and environmental-friendly fresh water resource. In contrast to the conventional thermal desalination systems such as multi-stage flash (MSF) and multi-effect distillation (MED), the evaporation of feed water (seawater or brackish water) occurs at lower temperatures, typically from 5°C to 30°C. The salient advantages of the ADC cycle over the other desalination technologies are: (i) it can be powered by a low-temperature heat source, (ii) it has almost no major moving parts, (iii) it has low maintenance, (iv) it is environmental-friendly with lowest CO2 emission at 0.64 kg/m3 of water, 5 times lesser emission than a RO plant, and more than 10 times lesser with the MSF, (v) it utilizes zero chemicals in the pretreatment step and (vi) it can achieve high recovery ratio (over 80%). ADC cycles utilize the lowtemperature heat sources to perform simultaneous desalination and cooling power production, i.e., 8 to 22 m3 per day and 24 to 35 Rton per ton of silica gel. The implementation of adsorption-desorption principles to evaporation-condensation of seawater enables the AD cycles to achieve low specific energy consumption of 1.38 kWh/m3. In this study, it has been shown that AD cycle can be operated at higher feed salinity compared to conventional thermal- or membrane-based desalination technologies, thus could play a pertinent role in zero liquid discharge process.

    Adsorption process forms the core of adsorption chiller and desiccant dehumidifier. In the conventional adsorption machines, adsorbent is embedded in between heat exchanger fins by wire meshes. Poor contact between adsorbent material and metal fins, and among adsorbent solids incurred in such method significantly impedes heat transfer efficiency, and hence the performance of the adsorption machines. The presented work is aimed to improve heat transfer of an adsorbent embedded heat exchanger by introducing binder. Several organic or inorganic binders are tested with adsorbent silica gel 3A and aluminium pieces, among which it is found that Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is the most suitable. Experiment is conducted to study the influence of the binder on the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger. The results show that a significant improvement of heat transfer is observed with respect to both value and time.

    In this paper, a multi-stage vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) system has been developed for seawater desalination process where the feed seawater is employed as the coolant medium. A rigorous mathematical model for such system is formulated to investigate the performance in terms of distillate production with respect to the seawater-coolant feed flow configurations such as the backward feed and the parallel feed. The VMD model is developed based on the commercially available capillary membrane module (MD020CP2N, Mycrodyn), which consists of an array of porous hydrophobic membranes, assembled together in a shell-and-tube module. The proposed multi-stage VMD desalination system consists of 24 stages with multiple recoveries of condensation heat to the feed seawater, i.e., coolant for the condensation, with the shell diameter of 0.03 m, fiber length of 0.5 m and 100 hollow fibers. It is observed that total distillate production of multi-stage VMD system with parallel feed arrangement is relatively superior as compared to that with backward feed type.

    This paper presents the experimental investigation on the performance of a low temperature waste heat driven advanced desiccant dehumidifier (ADD) which has almost no moving parts. Type RD silica gel is selected as the adsorbent material for the innovative ADD. The advantages of the current dehumidifier are i) no major moving parts rendering no maintenance and ii) energy saving through dehumidification. The performance of the dehumidifier is investigated at different relative humidity and air flow rates. The optimal contact time of the air with the adsorbent that gives the highest performance has been experimentally evaluated. Finally, the energy saving by the advanced dehumidifier is analyzed and is found to be around 25~30%.

    Refrigerant significantly influences the performance of air-conditioning and refrigeration system as well as it has some environmental issues that need to be considered before selection. These systems can be made eco-friendly, if it is powered by solar energy or low-grade thermal energy and they use environment-friendly refrigerants. In this chapter, low GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants have been explored for the domestic air-conditioning applications. Refrigerants with high GWP are mostly used in environment control applications such as heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC), and refrigeration systems. Some refrigerants contribute to significant environmental issues and the Montreal Protocol and Kyoto Protocol have been signed to address the threats of ozone layer depletion and global warming potential. To fulfil the commitments of Kyoto Protocol, meanwhile, governments in many countries instituted phase-out plan for the use of environmentally harmful gasses in heat pump systems. For instance, EU MAC Directives, F-gas regulation, and Japan METI directives, which clearly declared their target year to use new refrigerant of GWP below 150 for mobile air conditioner and GWP below 750 for the residential air conditioner. Research interest has been stimulated to find alternative refrigerants with low or ultra-low GWP for energy conservation and environmental sustainability. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) have a very low environmental impact, and thus HFOs are considering as potential candidates to replace the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants such as R410A, a near-azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane (R-32) and pentafluoroethane (R-125) and is commonly used refrigerant in air-conditioning applications. The limited number of pure fluids sometimes cannot meet the excellent heat transfer criteria due to their low volumetric capacity and moderate flammability or toxicity. Mixing of HFOs and HFCs refrigerants, in this case, allows the adjustment of the most desirable properties of the refrigerant by varying the molar fraction of the components. Different combination of mixture presented here cannot be claimed as the best mixture, but it might be a good choice for further study. This chapter focuses on the research trend in finding low GWP refrigerants and its application in different heat pump system considering the system performance, safety, and the overall environmental impact. The conventional vapor compression system, thermally driven adsorption system, and sorption-compression hybrid system have been taken into consideration.

    The global shortage of potable water is becoming significant and crucial for economic stability and world peace. The immediate solution for the water shortage is the conversion of seawater or brackish water to potable one. Thermal desalination systems like multi-effect-distillation (MED), multi-stage-flashing (MSF) and membrane distillation (MD) utilize high-temperature energy, i.e., hot water or steam to produce potable water. These systems downgrade the heat source for the operation. We developed an innovative desalination system where the temperature of the waste heat is upgraded to a higher one to drive the desalination system. Upgrading of the waste heat is achieved using the Adsorption Heat Transformer (AHT) cycle where the heat of adsorption is extracted as the upgraded heat source which is successively utilized for boiling and condensation of the seawater producing the potable water. We will discuss the concept, the inner working and the performance of the new AHT-MED cycle. The performance ratio of the cycle is expected to be in the region of 6 to 7 for a seven-stage system with the heat source temperature to the AHT cycle less than 70° C while conventional MED systems need steam with a temperature above 110° C.

    Emission and heat rejection from automobiles are largely responsible for urban environmental issues. Adsorption systems driven by engine waste heat exhibit huge potential to meet the demand for cabin thermal comfort while improving fuel economy. However, the mechanical vapour compression (MVC) systems are still the undisputed champions in automobile air conditioning. This paper provides a critical review on the development and progress of adsorption heat pumps specifically for automobile air conditioning. In doing so, some of the progress and development in land-based adsorption chillers (heat pump), which are not realistically relevant to automobile adsorption systems, are explicitly excluded. Matching the energy density, durability, and reliability of the MVC systems remain major hurdles. The importance of improving the energy density based on the overall system weight or volume, real-world tests under various driving modes and durability aspects are discussed.

    The energy, water and environment nexus is a crucial factor when considering the future development of desalination plants or industry in the water-stressed economies. New generation of desalination processes or plants has to meet the stringent environment discharge requirements and yet the industry remains highly energy efficient and sustainable when producing good potable water. Water sources, either brackish or seawater, have become more contaminated as feed while the demand for desalination capacities increase around the world. One immediate solution for energy efficiency improvement comes from the hybridization of the proven desalination processes to the newer processes of desalination: For example, the integration of the available thermally-driven to adsorption desalination (AD) cycles where significant thermodynamic synergy can be attained when cycles are combined. For these hybrid cycles, a quantum improvement in energy efficiency as well as in increase in water production can be expected. The advent of MED with AD cycles, or simply called the MEDAD cycles, is one such example where seawater desalination can be pursued and operated in cogeneration with the electricity production plants: The hybrid desalination cycles utilize only the low exergy bled-steam at low temperatures, complemented with waste exhaust or renewable solar thermal heat at temperatures between 60 and 80. °C. In this paper, the authors have reported their pioneered research on aspects of AD and related hybrid MEDAD cycles, both at theoretical models and experimental pilots. Using the cogeneration of electricity and desalination concept, the authors examined the cost apportionment of fuel cost by the quality or exergy of working steam for such cogeneration configurations.
