Frosting performance of a nanoporous hydrophilic aluminum surface (2018)
Journal Article
Yang, W., Zeng, B., Zhang, Y., He, S., & Zhao, X. (2018). Frosting performance of a nanoporous hydrophilic aluminum surface. Energies, 11(12), Article 3483. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11123483© 2018 by the authors. As an efficient energy-saving piece of equipment, an air-source heat pump can not only reduce the energy consumption required for heating, but can also reduce the pollution from fossil consumption. However, when an air-source h... Read More about Frosting performance of a nanoporous hydrophilic aluminum surface.
Study on dehumidification performance of a multi-stage internal cooling solid desiccant adsorption packed bed (2018)
Journal Article
Yang, W., Ren, J., Lin, Z., Wang, Z., & Zhao, X. (2018). Study on dehumidification performance of a multi-stage internal cooling solid desiccant adsorption packed bed. Energies, 11(11), 3038. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11113038In this paper, the solid desiccant adsorption packed bed with a three-stage internal cooling (ICSPB) has been proposed to improve the dehumidification efficiency and make a comparison with that of non-internal cooling. To investigate the performance... Read More about Study on dehumidification performance of a multi-stage internal cooling solid desiccant adsorption packed bed.
Analytical investigation of the heat-transfer limits of a novel solar loop-heat pipe employing a mini-channel evaporator (2018)
Journal Article
Diallo, T. M., Yu, M., Zhou, J., Zhao, X., Ji, J., & Hardy, D. (2018). Analytical investigation of the heat-transfer limits of a novel solar loop-heat pipe employing a mini-channel evaporator. Energies, 11(1), Article 148. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11010148© 2018 by the authors. This paper presents an analytical investigation of heat-transfer limits of a novel solar loop-heat pipe developed for space heating and domestic hot water use. In the loop-heat pipe, the condensate liquid returns to the evapora...
