Power consumption in room (split) airconditioning using alternative refrigera...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In this age of rapid economic development India is in need of huge of amount of energy including electricity. The prohibitive cost of setting up of new facilities for production of electricity led to the introduction of various means for saving electricity at every front. Airconditioners are huge consumers of electricity. So, reduction in use of electricity in airconditioner could be very much beneficial to the cause of the nation. At the same time all measures are being taken to save the environment from the hazards of global warming producing chemicals and burning of fossil fuels. All these purposes could be met by introduction of hydrocarbon refrigerants like Isobutane (R-600a). As such in the present work tests have been conducted to measure the saving in electrical energy when the existing-22 gas (refrigerant) is replaced by R-600a as refrigerant in the same system. It is found that substantial saving could be achieved in the consumption of electricity by this replacement without compromising the basic cooling effect. However, the flammability factor of R-600a is to be properly taken care of.
Keywords: refrigerant, alternative, electricity, consumption, isobutane, Montreal protocol, ozone depletion, global warming, flammability
The currently used refrigerant properties were recommended as unsuitable for the future use due to their high ozone-depleting rate. To abide with the Montrcal Protocol norms have been taken into account and suitable alternative, which is innocuous to ozone layer.
Performance of HFC-152a is researched to develop the HFC-152a as alternative mixture. The HFC-152a has been tested under various systems. Its properties, comparison with HFC-134a, cost, risk assessment, efficiency and technological issues have been discussed.

During the Airbus Military Trade Media Briefing 2013, held on May 29th and 30th 2013,
Angel Barrio Cardaba Head of Engineering and Technology provided an overview on a number of technological developments at Airbus Military over the past year. But the key system highlighted was the C295 W.
According to Airbus Military:
Featuring winglets and uprated engines as standard, the new model will provide operators with enhanced performance in all flight phases but is particularly aimed at those operating at “hot and high“ airfields where payload increases in excess of 1,000kg are promised.
In intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) roles such as airborne early warning (AEW) the enhancements will increase endurance by 30-60min and permit an operating altitude up to 2,000ft higher than now.
The new features will also provide an overall reduction in fuel consumption of around 4% depending on configuration and conditions.
The C295W, assembled in Seville, Spain, is being offered to the market from now on and will be the standard version of the aircraft in all versions from the fourth quarter of 2014. Certification is expected in 2Q14.
Airbus Military is committing to the C295W following flight-trials with winglets fitted to its company development aircraft which showed positive results for a weight penalty of only around 90kg.
The engines are the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127 turboprops which power all versions of the C295. New procedures recently certified by Canada and Spain permit operation in the climb and cruise phases at higher power settings at the discretion of the operator. As well as improved hot and high performance, the procedure improves operation over very high terrain such as the Andes or Himalaya mountains with only a minor influence on maintenance cost.
Challenges of future aircraft propulsionDenny John
This document discusses distributed propulsion technology and its potential application for future all-electric commercial aircraft. It outlines challenges with current aircraft propulsion systems, including high fuel consumption and noise and emissions. Distributed propulsion aims to address these issues by dividing thrust across multiple smaller engines distributed around the aircraft. The document reviews literature on early aircraft with distributed propulsion designs. It also examines challenges for implementing distributed electric propulsion on commercial aircraft, such as managing increased weight and electrical systems complexity.
Fly-by-wire technology replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. It converts the movements of flight controls into electronic signals transmitted by wires to flight control computers, which then determine how to move actuators at each control surface. This allows the system to automatically stabilize the aircraft and prevent unsafe maneuvers. Fly-by-wire provides advantages like increased stability, reduced weight and maintenance needs, higher fuel efficiency, and easier integration of advanced flight control functions.

The document discusses noise control techniques for aircraft interiors, including using barriers, absorption materials, vibration isolators, and damping materials to control both airborne and structureborne noise. It explains that barriers and absorption materials handle airborne noise while isolators and damping materials handle structureborne or vibrational noise. An effective noise control system uses techniques to block noise transmission paths and eliminate mechanical energy wherever possible.
Stall avoidance training and pilot evaluations of approach to stall recovery procedures must develop essential habit formations that instill recognition and proper recovery from imminent and full stall situations. Using power as the primary control without a reduction in elevator backpressure while recovering from an approach to stall does not instill habit formation for effective stall avoidance and aircraft upset recovery.
The document discusses various techniques for reducing vibration in helicopters, including passive, active, and semi-active methods. Passive techniques like tuned mass absorbers and blade design optimization provide moderate vibration reduction but with a significant weight penalty. Active concepts like higher harmonic control and individual blade control generate unsteady loads to cancel vibrations, but require external power. Semi-active systems modify structural properties using small amounts of power. The most successful current method is active control of structural response, which places actuators throughout an airframe to reduce vibrations measured by sensors.

This document summarizes research on using spray-freezing of phase change materials (PCMs) for indirect dry cooling of power plants. The key points are:
1) Current power plant cooling methods rely heavily on water resources and face regulatory challenges. Novel cooling systems are needed that use little to no water.
2) The proposed method uses recirculating PCM slurries that are sprayed and freeze into spheres in air. This allows heat to be removed indirectly via air cooling.
3) Preliminary experiments show the PCM spray characteristics and freezing behavior. Computational modeling examines heat transfer during melting and settling of PCM particles.
4) The innovative system could reduce steam condensation
1) CleanSky aims to develop technologies to meet environmental challenges facing air transport, including reducing CO2, NOx, and noise emissions.
2) The program expects technologies entering service from 2015-2025 to reduce aircraft CO2 by 20-40%, NOx by 40%, and noise by 20 decibels.
3) CleanSky takes an integrated approach across seven years and 1.6 billion Euros, focusing demonstration projects on fixed-wing, rotorcraft, regional, and green aircraft systems to enable more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly air transport.
The flight management system (FMS) is at the heart of modern aircraft technology. It integrates information from the aircraft's navigation, performance, and flight parameters to provide consolidated navigation and auto flight control, maximizing efficiency. The FMS consists of a flight management computer, control display unit, and visual display. It analyzes inputs like navigation, air data, and engine status to provide autopilot, flight director, and auto-throttle commands optimizing all aspects of flight. Pilots must program the FMS with the route and monitor progress, updating parameters as needed.

The document discusses the challenges for refrigerants currently and in the future. It notes that the F-Gas regulation is strongly influencing the refrigeration market through a phase down of average GWP levels and bans on some HFCs for certain sectors. By 2030, the average GWP will need to be reduced to 800. This will require the use of natural refrigerants like CO2, ammonia, and hydrocarbons as shorter term HFC replacements may not be available or the situation could become chaotic. CO2 transcritical systems are presented as a long term solution for supermarkets.

XVII CONVEGNO EUROPEO T. Gabiel - EU F-GAS REGULATION: PERSPECTIVESCentro Studi Galileo
The document summarizes the EU F-Gas Regulation and its implications. It notes that the EU regulation will lead to significant reductions in HFCs by 37% in 2018, 55% in 2021, and 69% in 2024. This is more ambitious than reductions under the Kigali Amendment. The reductions are even larger than they appear because baseline exclusions and exemptions mean actual reductions will be 48% in 2018 and 64% in 2021. Early effects include HFC stockpiling, price increases, and risks of illegal trade and material shortages. The regulation provides an opportunity for European green technologies to be mainstreamed globally through the Montreal Protocol HCFC phase-out.
XVII CONVEGNO EUROPEO A. Kaschl - IMPLEMENTING THE EU PHASE DOWNCentro Studi Galileo
The document summarizes the EU's phase-down of F-gases, or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), under the F-gas Regulation to reduce emissions. It outlines that the regulation establishes an upstream quota system to reduce HFC imports and production in the EU by 80% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline. Companies must register and report HFC quantities and are issued annual quotas to place HFCs on the EU market. The goals of the phase-down are to stimulate innovation, support climate policy, and facilitate convergence with the Montreal Protocol, while emissions and consumption are already falling under the regulation.
The document summarizes the topics that will be covered during presentations at the Latest Technologies in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning conference in Milan on June 9-10, 2017. The three topics are: 1) how to apply F-gas regulations and ongoing actions to reduce gases, 2) challenges and solutions for cold chains internationally from political and technical perspectives, and 3) opportunities for renewable energy in cooling due to regulations and new technologies in refrigeration and air conditioning.
