This seminar focuses on non-vapor-compression (i.e. not-in-kind) HVAC technologies. This session first provides an overview of various not-in-kind technologies, including magneto-chloric, elastic-chloric and absorption based systems. This overview focuses on fundamental analysis based on first and second law of thermodynamics and performance comparison with vapor compression systems. Then two most promising technologies elastocaloric cooling and magnetocaloric cooling are discussed in detail separately. Fundamental theory are proposed and experimental data are presented. Overall, this session provides the audience a basic idea of non-vapor-compression technology potentials.
