Urban Microclimates

This paper presents a hypothetical and comparative performance of a 5 ton air conditioner (AC) operating in two zones in different urban microclimates for 25 days. One site represents a type of homogeneous planned urbanism and the other is a traditional heterogeneous zone. Air temperature data was collected and then processed using a linear regression model included in the operating manual of the AC in order to obtain their energy consumption. Results indicate that for an area with 500 homes, a traditional urban complex requires 12,350 kWh of electrical energy more than a planned zone (1.89%). This extra energy amounts up to $1180 and adds 9191 kg of CO2 to the atmosphere. The increased energy consumption has implications that increase the cost and environmental aspects of two urban microclimates, so that urbanization without planning is less friendly to the environment. In this sense, this study highlights the effects of urban microclimates on domestic electricity consumption from air conditioning. In addition, for a city with an arid desert climate, the variation in electricity consumption is associated with changes in the urban mosaic. The results found represent scientific evidence that can be used as a reference to establish public policies that could be incorporated into the local construction regulations, oriented to reduce the energy consumption associated with the use of air conditioning equipment.

The process of operating an air conditioning system by hybrid energy that uses solar energy for purpose of saving electrical energy with improving the performance from modern and environmentally friendly systems. With high demand for air-conditioning systems in summer in hot regions, especially in Iraq due to high temperatures, the issue of using renewable energies becomes more attractive due to the continuous interruption of electrical energy. Air conditioners in Iraq consume more than half of the average electricity production. Therefore, saving energy leads to ensuring the reliability of electricity and reduces the consumption of fuel and gases that pollute the environment and negatively affect on the ozone layer. In the current research, the atmosphere of the city Baghdad was used to collect the solar thermal energy through a vacuum solar collector and combine it with a conventional air conditioner in order to reduce the electrical energy consumption on the compressor and increase the coefficient of performance. Several tests were conducted on the experimental device for comparing results with the conventional device and evaluating performance. The results showed that the performance with the vacuum solar collector became more efficient 8.97 instead of 4.27 than with the conventional system, and the energy consumption decreased by 52%.

An air conditioning system using water as refrigerant (R718) that compresses water vapor with multistage stage variable speed axial compressor with intercooling between stages by water injection is considered. Four stage compression with flash intercooling resulted in 50% improvement of coefficient of performance (COP) at full load compared to conventional refrigerants like R134a. The energy efficiency of an air conditioning unit is specified by seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). SEER is defined as the ratio of cooling output of an air conditioner measured and electrical energy consumption as per AHRI 210/240 during cooling season. The SEER is computed after determining the evaporator cooling capacity and the electrical energy demand of the compressor at each bin temperature using assumed compressor isentropic efficiency, mechanical efficiency and electrical efficiency and multiplying by the weight of each bin temperature to determine the total for the cooling season. As a result of multistage compression, best part load performance of water as a refrigerant and operation of compressor near design point at part load due to variable speed drive, 50%–60% improvement in SEER is obtained compared to the best available in the market using conventional refrigerants such as R134a with single stage compression.

At the present time, operating hybrid air-conditioning systems that use solar energy to saving electrical energy while improving the performance has become necessary to protect the environment, reduce pollution and emissions caused by using fuels and gases. In Iraq, temperatures reach half the boiling point at summer, therefore the demand for air conditioning systems increases, air conditioning systems consume more than half of average electricity production which affects on reliability and stability of the electrical energy thus leads to a continuous power outage. So, the issue of using renewable energies becomes more attractive. Because of saving energy leads to ensuring the reliability of electricity and reduces the consumption of fuels and gases that pollute on the environment and negatively affect on the ozone layer. In the current research, the atmosphere of Baghdad city was used to collect solar thermal energy and convert it into thermal energy through an evacuated solar collector by water and combine it with a conventional air conditioner in the part that follows the compressor in order to reduce the electrical energy consumption on the compressor and increase coefficient of performance. Several tests were conducted on the proposed system to compare results with the conventional system and evaluate performance. The results showed that the coefficient of performance with the hybrid system became 8.97 more efficient instead of 4.27 compared to the conventional system, and the energy consumption decreased by 52%.
