Earth-air heat exchanger and its utilization in cold storages
Abstract
Cold Storage is a special type of room, the temperature is kept very low with the help of machinery and precision equipment. Marine products are also produced in large quantities due to the large coastal areas. Therefore, it is a good job for entrepreneurs to invest. Uses Cold space is used to save fruit and vegetables. If kept in a cool place, they will not rot after many months. Sometimes, during the production of certain vegetable or fruit crops, the demand for those items decreases, which in turn reduces the consumption of the residual item and is stored in a cool place. Cold storage works primarily on the 'vapor pressure cycle' to produce cooling. Now, we want to introduce a better, more efficient, and less expensive method EAHE (Earth-Warm Temperature). The Earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE) is a promising method that can be used effectively to reduce the heat / cooling load of a building by first cooling the air in summer. Over the past two decades, much research has been done to develop analytical models and analysis numbers for EAHE systems. The method of calculating the fixed temperature of the earth (EUT) and the recently developed correlation of friction factor and Nusselt number are used to ensure maximum accuracy in calculating heat transfer. Advanced calculations allow designers to calculate heat transfer, coefficient of flexible heat transfer, pressure drop, and length of the EAHE system pipeline. A long pipe of small diameter buried at high depth and having a low flow rate of air causes an increase in the efficiency of the EAHE system.
