Description
Energy Cycle App covers four major energy conversion cycles to facilitate as a tool for performing energy efficiency studies. This can be very helpful to different energy engineers and auditors in assessing the cycle performances with respect to sizing and conversion efficiencies. App generates following generic models two under utility power generation category and two under HVAC category as shown in the screen shots. Each can be tailored to suits individual application and can be saved in a file for continuous reference and to monitor the change and improvement.
Energy Cycles:
-
Rankine Cycle
a. Boiler
b. Turbine
c. Condenser
d. Feed Pump -
CHP (Brayton) Cycle
a. Air compressor
b. Fuel Injection
c. Gas Turbine
d. Steam Generator -
HVAC Cooling Cycle
a. Conditioned space
b. Outdoor Air
c. Fan-coil process
d. Return and Exhaust air flows -
HVAC Heating Cycle
a. Conditioned space
b. Outdoor Air
c. Fan-coil process
d. Return and Exhaust air flows
Cycle efficiency and total cycle heat is displayed in the home screen along with state properties. For HVAC, a separate section is added as a part of conditioned space for editing cooling and heating load under 10 major categories as shown in the screen shot. A separate compute button is provided for the users to select and compute load under each category using recommended parameters.
Each application screen has its own help notes to guide through different input and outputs. User s can save their application data with unique title for future monitoring and review.
Following screen shots covers the basic models and for additional screen shots with examples and data please refer to our web site at www.flowjoule.com
