    A refrigerated road transport application
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 1999) Horuz, İlhamı; Mühendislik Mimarlık Fakültesi; Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü
    The study included an investigation into the use of Vapour Absorption Refrigeration (VAR) systems in road transport vehicles using the waste heat in the exhaust gases of the main propulsion unit as the energy source. This would provide an alternative to the conventional Vapour Compressian Refrigeration (VCR) system and its associated Internal Combustion (IC) Engine. The proposed system is almost maintenance free, having only one component, the solution pump, with moving parts. Additionally, the VAR system runs quietly and primary fuel energy used to drive the independent engine of the VCR system will be saved. There should also be savings in capital costs with the exclusion of the IC engine and the compressor of the conventional system. The effect on the main propulsion unit of inserting the VAR system into the exhaust system and how cooling can be provided during off-road/slow running conditions are also included in the studies.
