Abstract

As a novel generation of thermal separators, the Wave rotor refrigerator (WRR) has replaced the traditional pressure-wave thermal separator. However, the isentropic refrigeration efficiency still needs to be improved compared with expander. A novel WRR system cycle was built and the system performance was thermal analyzed under various parameters, such as expansion efficiency or compression efficiency of wave rotor. The results are used to compare with the traditional WRR system. It is shown that the advantage provided by this novel cycle over the traditional WRR is an expansion process and a compression process is integrated into one unit, with a higher energy transfer efficiency and simple structure. The isentropic refrigeration efficiency of this novel cycle can be more than twice of the traditional WRR under the pressure ratio of 1.1. The experimental works are carrying out.
