Abstract

This paper describes a new ejector refrigeration system with mechanical subcooling which uses an auxiliary liquid-gas ejector to enhance subcooling for the refrigerant from condenser. The new system can have larger subcooling degree when circulating pump consumes a little more power compared with conventional ejector refrigeration system. Based on the built mathematical model, the performance of the new ejector refrigeration system was discussed and compared with that of a conventional ejector refrigeration system for refrigerant R142b. Theoretical analyzing results show that the new system can efficiently improve the coefficient of performance (COP) of ejector refrigeration.
