This study reviews the impact of lubricants on the components and efficiency of household
refrigerator-freezers (HRFs). A comprehensive review of the existing literature reveals that …

Rational utilization of renewable energy is widely used to reduce building energy
consumption and save energy. To promote the utilization efficiency of renewable energy in …

Comprehensive experimental results for real household refrigerator-freezers under faulty
conditions are scarce in the literature. This study investigates the effects of capillary tube …

Heat pump tumble dryers, air-vented dryers and condenser dryers are widely used as
clothes dryers. Clothes dryers use hot air to absorb moisture from textiles to get them dry …

To expedite the quality inspection (QI) on household refrigerator-freezer (HRF) production
lines, rapid and accurate fault detection and diagnosis during the brief start-up operation …

To measure mass flow rate of R32 through EEVs under real operating conditions, a
commercially available air-water heat pump (AWHP) system was operated in as wide a …

In spite of the simple geometry of capillary tubes, the refrigerant flow behavior through
capillary tubes is complex. Numerous empirical correlations have been developed to predict …

Insufficient air evacuation from a refrigeration system prior to refrigerant charging can lead to
an increased non-condensable gas concentration, negatively impacting system …

Refrigerant flow through a capillary tube is complicated, and many empirical correlations
have been proposed for calculating the refrigerant mass flow rate through capillary tubes. A …

Previous empirical correlations have largely failed to predict the mass flow rate variations of
R-600a during the transient pull-down operation of household refrigerators. This …
