【 摘 要 】

This paper presents the COP prediction of an ejector refrigeration cycle combined with a vapour compression cycle for automotive air conditioning. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, the performance of an ejector was analyzed in term of the entrainment ratio (Rm) and critical back pressure (CBP). The results from this study were compared with a previous study of combined ejector refrigeration system for automotive air conditioning application [1] which the entrainment ratio (Rm) were predicted from one-dimensional (1-D) equation. The performance of an ejector (Rm and CBP) from CFD and onedimensional method were analyzed and used as database for a mathematical modeling. In order to predict the COP of the combined system, a set of mathematical equations was developed using EES. The operating conditions are chosen accordingly as, intercooler temperature between 15 ๐ C and 25 ๐ C, condenser temperature equal to 35 ๐ C and evaporator temperature equal to 5 ๐ C. However, when generator temperatures are 80 ๐ C, 85 ๐ C and 90 ๐ C, the results showed average relative errors of the COP of an ejector refrigeration cycle (COPej), between CFD and 1-D are 44.64%, 50.47% and 59.68% respectively, and between CFD and 1-D NEW are 1.54%, 0.08% and 6.49% respectively.
