A new kind of expanders, called as single screw expander, has been developed by our team and applied to refrigeration systems. The present paper is to determine experimentally the refrigeration performance of a compressed air refrigeration system which is based on a single screw expander with...

This investigation analyzes the thermal efficiency and pollutant emissions of a pressurized submerged combustion evaporator (PSCE). Experimental results show that our novel PSCE design can reduce NO_x emissions to 12 mg/kg with increased submergence depth and CO emissions to 5.56 mg/kg when using...

In this paper, flash evaporation and thermal vapor compression are used to reduce heat consumption of CO2 capture processes and two improved capture systems are proposed. One is the flash evaporator (FE) and thermal vapor compressor (TVC)-aided system, the other is the heated flash evaporator...
