  • Modeling and Simulation of a Thermosiphon Solar Water Heater in Makurdi Using Transient System Simulation
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 12, December-2019 451 ISSN 2229-5518 Modeling and Simulation of a Thermosiphon Solar Water Heater in Makurdi using Transient System Simulation Prof. Joshua Ibrahim, Dr. Aoandona Kwaghger, Engr. Shehu Mohammed Sani ABSTRACT The modeling and simulation of a thermosyphon solar water heater at Makurdi (7.74oN) Nigeria was conducted for a period of three months (November, 2013- January, 2014). The research was aimed at simulating the performance of a solar water heater by using various parameters for greater efficiency. The solar water heater was developed and its performance was simulated at University of Agriculture Makurdi. The solar radiation on a horizontal surface was measured using a solarimeter. The water mass flow rates were measured using a Flow meter. The relative humidity data were measured using the Hygrometer. The inlet, outlet and ambient temperatures were measured using a Digital thermometer. For the simulation of the entire system the following measured parameters were used, as global solar radiation on collector plate, collector ambient temperature, heat exchanger and storage tank ambient temperature, flow rate of the collector and storage loop, the cold tap water temperature and the hot water usage. For the validation of the model and for the identification of parameters as heat loss coefficients in situ measurements were performed. Based on the developed models parameter sensitivity analysis and transient influences can be examining for the element and the entire system as well. The results obtained were simulated using Transient simulation software16 (TRNSYS). The results obtained showed that the daily average solar radiation for the period varied from 405 푊/푚2 to1008 푊/푚2.

  • Prevent Engine Heater Hassles in Power Generators Reduce Low-Coolant Alarms, Low-Temperature Alarms and Service Calls
    WHITE PAPER Automotive Off Road Heavy Power Duty Gen Prevent Engine Heater Hassles in Power Generators Reduce Low-Coolant Alarms, Low-Temperature Alarms and Service Calls A power generator’s engine heater is a critical component in providing fast, clean engine starts. Choosing and correctly installing a properly sized, high-quality heater protects the genset investment and ensures performance. Many diesel-power generator dealers, packagers, equipment rental companies and maintenance professionals are familiar with the frustration and cost of excessive low- coolant and low-temperature alarms resulting in service calls. Coolant evaporation can be caused by a thermosiphon circulation (TC) heater or incorrect installation of the heater. Dealers and packagers with service contracts are paying the price with replacement heaters and added service calls. Engine heater service issues are especially problematic for level-one care facilities, such as nursing homes and hospitals, where backup gensets must meet the NFPA 110, Type 10 regulation and start in less than 10 seconds. In Canada, CSA 282 requires engines to maintain a temperature between 100º and 120ºF (38º and 49ºC) to ensure quick startup. Mandatory for power generators, starting engines at these temperatures minimize wear and increase operating life. 1 WHITE PAPER Limited Engine Heater Choices To be cost-competitive, or due to lack of application information, gensets are often shipped with a low-cost engine heater. These heaters may not be suitable for all applications or meet the customer requirements. The dealer may need to upgrade the heater before the power generator is installed or in the field. To select the right engine pre-heater, it is important to be aware of new, more reliable products available today.

Two data center racks one of them is attached with fin and tube thermosiphon were cooled by CRAC unit (computer room air conditioning unit) individually. Thermosiphon can help to partially eliminate the compressor loading of the CRAC; thus, energy saving potential of thermosiphon loop was investigated. The condenser is a water-cooled design and perfluoroalkoxy pipes were used as adiabatic riser/downcomer for easier installation and mobile capability. Tests were conducted with filling ratio ranging from 0 to 90%. The test results indicate that the energy saving increases with the rise of filling ratio and an optimum energy savings of 38.7% can be achieved at filling ratios of 70%, a further increase of filling ratio leads to a reduction in energy saving. At a low filling ratio like 10%, the evaporator starves for refrigerant and a very uneven air temperature distribution occurring at the exit of data rack.
