• Coupled fluid-solid modelling of the valve dynamics in reciprocating compressors 

      Ervik, Åsmund; Saai, Afaf; Berstad, Torodd; Meyer, Ole; Tsuji, Takuma; Oku, Tatsuya; Hattori, Kazuhiro; Yamada, Kazuya; Delhaye, Virgile Roger; Nekså, Petter (Science et technique du froid;, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      A novel method coupling computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM) was developed to account for the complex physics of the reciprocating compressor. The developed method is based on data exchange ...
    • Experimental investigation of dry ice cyclone separator for ultra‐low temperature energy storage using carbon dioxide 

      Yamasaki, Haruhiko; Kizilkan, Ônder; Yamaguchi, Hiroshi; Kamimura, Takeshi; Hattori, Kazuhiro; Nekså, Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      CO2 cascade heat pump system has been developed to realize an ultra‐low temperature below the triple point of 0.518 MPa and − 56.6°C or less by flowing dry ice solid‐gas state of CO2 in a refrigeration system. Solid CO2 ...
    • Experimental investigation of the effect of solid-gas two-phase flow in CO2 cascade refrigeration system 

      Yamasaki, Haruhiko; Yamaguchi, Hiroshi; Kizilkan, Ônder; Kamimura, Takeshi; Hattori, Kazuhiro; Nekså, Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The dry ice sublimation process of CO2 is a unique technique in which temperature ranges below the triple point of −56 °C can be achieved in a CO2 refrigeration system. However, during the evaporation process of the actual ...
    • Thermal Characteristics in Supercritical CO2 Along Heating Tube 

      Tazawa, Taluya; Yoshida, S; Yamasaki, Haruhiko; Wakimoto, Hiroyuki; Yamaguchi, Hiroshi; Kamimura, Takeshi; Hattori, Kazuhiro; Nekså, Petter (Sciences et technique du froid;2020:14, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The system using CO2 as a refrigerant such as heat pump or Rankine cycle, depends greatly on the phase state and physical properties of CO2. In the present study, as a basic research on CO2 in the supercritical state, an ...
    • Visualization and Measurement of Swirling Flow of Dry Ice Particles in Cyclone Separator-Sublimator 

      Yamasaki, Haruhiko; Wakimoto, Hiroyuki; Kamimura, Takeshi; Hattori, Kazuhiro; Nekså, Petter; Yamaguchi, Hiroshi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The dry ice sublimation process of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is a unique, environmentally friendly technology that can achieve a temperature of −56 ◦C or lower, which is a triple point of CO2 in CO2 refrigeration systems. In ...
