Application of an Evolution Program for Refrigerant Circuitry Optimization

December 7, 2007
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, David A. Yashar
Increased concerns about climate change have emphasized the importance of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems with a high coefficient of performance (COP). The effectiveness of heat exchangers significantly influences the vapor-compression system s

A Microfabricated Flow Controller for Refrigerant Expansion

October 1, 2007
Author(s)
David A. Yashar, Piotr A. Domanski, Don DeVoe
A flow controller for refrigerant expansion is reported. Devices are fabricated using a micromolding technique developed for thick nickel electroplating. The device consists of a short tube restrictor with an integrated normally-open valve which, when

Longitudinal Heat Conduction in Finned-Tube Evaporators

August 21, 2007
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, William V. Payne, J M. Choi
The paper evaluates performance of finned-tube evaporators at different refrigerant exit superheats to assess the impact of longitudinal heat conduction on capacity.

Optimization of Finned-Tube Condensers Using an Intelligent System

May 1, 2007
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, David A. Yashar
The refrigerant circuitry influences a heat exchanger s attainable capacity. Typically, a design engineer specifies a circuitry and validates it using a simulation model or laboratory test. The circuitry optimization process can be improved by using

MEMS Sensors for HVAC&R: Small, Fast, Cheap (in Polish)

August 1, 2006
Author(s)
David A. Yashar, Piotr A. Domanski
Microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS) have revolutionized the market for sensors by providing small, fast-responding measurement devices at low cost. They have been widely accepted in several common products. As an example, today's automobile uses

R-22 Replacement Status (In Spanish)

August 1, 2006
Author(s)
J M. Calm, Piotr A. Domanski
Since its initial recognition in 1928 and commercialization in 1936, R-22 has been applied in systems ranging from the smallest window air conditioners to the largest chillers and heat pumps, including those for district cooling and heating. Individual
