REVIEW ON EJECTOR OF VAPOR JET REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Vapor Jet Refrigeration (VJR) system is attractive among various heat operated refrigeration systems, because it has the potential of utilizing low grade thermal energy with source temperature as low as 60C, which could be harnessed from renewable energy, waste heat, automobile-exhaust, etc. Also absence of moving parts in this system resulted in lesser maintenance costs. In addition tothat this system causes very low environmental pollution due to almost negligible consumption ofhigh grade energy from fossil fuels for running a small liquid pump of the system. Although VJRwas invented very long back, still performance improvement to compete with vapor compressionrefrigeration system is in progress. Plenty of research has been carried out in different aspects forenhancing the efficiency of this technology. The present work/paper gives an overview of VJRsystem and its progression in the aspect of performance improvement. The developmental progressof the VJR technology presented in this paper has been categorized into the following groups,namely (a) general performance of an ejector, (b) numerical analysis, viz., classical one-dimensionalanalysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, (c) experimental studies, (d) flowvisualization studies, (e) performance enhancement techniques, and (f) two-phase ejector. And alsopresented a glimpse of some of the review papers from literature on VJR system.
