Performance testing of steam ejector air conditioning system

Low temperature heat energy is the energy generated by heat with temperature between 80–150°C, It is easily available from sources such as automobiles, industrial processes, geothermal and solar energies, etc. One way to reuse the waste heat energy is to convert them into cooling by means of either...

description Low temperature heat energy is the energy generated by heat with temperature between 80–150°C, It is easily available from sources such as automobiles, industrial processes, geothermal and solar energies, etc. One way to reuse the waste heat energy is to convert them into cooling by means of either mechanical compressor-based cooling or non-mechanical cooling systems.
