Ejector cycle and two-stage evaporation cycle are two different ways to improve coefficient of performance (COP) for vapor-compression refrigeration or heat pump systems. They decrease the irreversible losses in throttling and heat transfer process
respectively. To further improve COP
a novel compressor-ejector cycle with two-stage evaporation is proposed. In this cycle
an ejector is applied to lift the lower evaporating pressure by recovering the expansion work. A thermodynamic model is developed to analyze performance of the new cycle. Numerical results indicate that COP of the new cycle under basic operating conditions is 20.4%
10.9%
7.6% higher than basic refrigeration cycle
ejector cycle and two-stage evaporation cycle
respectively. The improvement of COP is applicable to different refrigerants.
