Project title:Experimental Investigation on Hybrid Cold Storage room powered by Solar Energy and Desalination
Research Conducted:Thiagaraja College of Engineering, Madurai
Principal Investigator:Dr K Srithar
Amount Spent: : Rs. 18 Lakhs
| Summary | Outcome |
|---|---|
| To Augment the COP of a VCR operated cold room by means of sub-cooling the refrigerant after the condenser and superheating the refrigerant before the compressor. Water desalination using HDH desalination through heat recovery from VCR system. PV module Cooling using Heat Pipe technology to preheat the water/ effluent solar still. To provide Design Guidelines for capacity solar based cold room | This research project proved that enhancement of the performance of the Vapor Compression Refrigeration system is possible by using a plethora of techniques like extraction of waste heat from the condenser and the evaporator simultaneously, integrating HDH desalination and by using solar energy to operate the system. A HDH desalination system which utilizes the waste heat from the system enhanced the performance of the system with desalinated water as an indispensable byproduct. The solar panel modified with a solar still resulted in 5.6 % increase in output power with 14.51 % ramp up in electrical efficiency. At optimized flow conditions of air and water, the revamped solar operated 0.5 TR cold storage attained a maximum COP of 3.25 with minimal energy consumption of 0.46 kWh, emission mitigation of 51.98 kg of CO2 equivalents/year and saving ₹387/month This novel system with its energy saving and emission reduction potential aligns with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) affordable and clean energy (SDG -7), responsible consumption and production (SDG-12) as well as climate action (SDG -13) |
