Abstract

The main results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the performance characteristics of an ejector and an ejector refrigeration machine (ERM) operating with refrigerant R245fa at design and off-design working conditions are presented. The ejector and ERM were explored theoretically using improved 1D model and the calculated results were validated experimentally on ejector test rig that has been assembled and operated at National Taiwan University. For typical cases, the performance characteristics variation with condensing, generating and evaporating temperatures along with performance maps are presented. The theoretical results are compared with the results of a set of experiments and good qualitative and quantitative agreement is observed.
