A heat-driven double-effect elastothermal refrigeration cycle method and system

Abstract

A heat-driven double-effect elastothermal refrigeration cycle method and system, two high-temperature drive group shape memory alloys with different phase transition temperatures absorb heat from high-temperature and medium-temperature heat sources respectively, and drive two low-temperature refrigeration group shape memory alloys Absorbs heat from the low-temperature refrigerated space to cool. Among them, the medium-temperature heat source is obtained by collecting the waste heat of the high-temperature heat source, so as to realize the cascade energy utilization of the heat source and continuous refrigeration. The refrigeration system includes four groups of memory alloys, which are: high-temperature drive group memory alloys, medium-temperature drive group memory alloys, and two low-temperature refrigeration group memory alloys. Shape memory alloys are used as heat-driven working fluids instead of motor-driven methods. Make better use of renewable energy and achieve more compact cooling than existing electric-driven elastothermal cooling solutions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to refrigeration cycle technology, in particular to a heat-driven double-effect elastothermal refrigeration cycle method and system. Background technique [0002] Vapor compression cycle is currently the most widely used refrigeration technology in the world, and is widely used in air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the core components such as compressors and heat exchangers in the vapor compression cycle have undergone several generations of development. At present, the cooling efficiency of the latest vapor compression refrigeration system is close to 40-45% of the theoretical efficiency of the Carnot cycle. Vapor compression refrigeration systems use a large number of refrigerants such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, which are not conducive to environmental climate change. The greenhouse gas effect of these refrigerants is more than 1,000 times that of carbon di...
