Energy use is a major problem in the vapor compression air cooling system, especially in areas with very hot weather conditions. In hot weather conditions, the performance of the system has decreased dramatically and electricity consumption has increased significantly. Combined Condensor with evaporative cooling will increase the heat removal process by using an evaporative cooling effect that will increase the efficiency of energy use. This paper presents the study of the use of evaporative cooling and condenser. This paper mainly calculated energy consumption in steam compression cooling systems and related problems. From the results of this study, the use of condensers with evaporative cooling, power consumption can be reduced to 46% and performance coefficient (COP) can be increased by about 12%, with 1,2 kW cooling capacity.

The desiccant wheel performance of desiccant cooling system components is very important whose function is to regulate air humidity levels as well as to the capability, size and cost of the entire system. Mathematical models for predicting the performance of desiccant wheels in the development of mathematical models is one of the effective methods for analyzing the performance of wheel this moisture-reducing. This mathematical model can also be used in guiding system operation, delivering experimental results and automation in designing this cooling system. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of efforts to mathematically model the process of heat transfer and mass transfer that occurs in the moisture-reducing wheel. The desiccant wheel model built here is a gas and solid system including basic principles, heat and mass transfer mechanism and model building. The model is based on ideal assumptions, equations, additional conditions and the method of solution and also the main results. The gas-solid model is a more precise and more complex model than the other models. From these results the evolutionary process of the mathematical model is obtained and the aspects of calculation of pressure loss, air leakage, and optimal rotation speed of the drying wheel / dehumification.

The potential of wind energy in Indonesia is sufficient for the development of renewable energy based on wind turbine, because the average wind speed ranges from 3-12 m / s. The wind that blows is dominated by West, Southwest, and Northwest winds with speeds sometimes reaching 2.5 m / s to 20 m / s. The designed wind turbine is a Taper type blade where the comparison of the tip chord to the base is 1.3: 1, with a blade length of 1 m. Where the blades are designed to be able to spin in high-speed winds and to maximize the efficiency that can be obtained. The design result that the highest peak is 59% at TSR 7 and the blades start to spin in winds of 8.7 m / s and at winds of 12 m / s the power produced reaches 3255 watts.

Variable refrigerant flow air-conditioning (VRF) systems are important and widely used building energy systems around the world. In this study, the performance of a multi-split VRF system using the bypass cycle is evaluated using the experiment as a possible sub-cooling method to prevent flash gas generation in liquid pipelines. The experimental for the multi-split VRF system is developed by considering the applications of the bypass cycle, and is validated with experimental data. The results of the tests that have been carried out are obtained in the vapor compression cycle with a bypass cycle, an increase in cooling capacity of 2.96% and an energy saving ratio (EER) of 1.72%. The input power of the bypass cycle is reduced by up to 2.45% when the performance of the multi-split VRF systems with bypass cycle cooling capacity conditions.

Heating, ventilation and air cooling (HVAC) systems are the largest users of electrical energy in the hospital. The results showed that hospitals represent about 60% of the total energy consumption in the utility building sector. In this paper, it is presented about energy efficiency and the potential for energy savings in HVAC systems in hospitals. Conditioning systems with Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) or Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) Technology allow for greater energy efficiency and cost savings compared to traditional HVAC systems.

As a result of a decrease in the mass flow rate at the inlet section of a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) cooling system, the refrigerant flow system performs poorly. To increase efficiency the steam injection cycle method is used. The effects of steam injection are theoretically explored in this study over a wide range of medium pressures and ambient temperatures, and the findings are supported by experimental data. Compressor heating capacity, input power, coefficient of performance (COP), and isentropic efficiency are all affected by pressure. At low ambient temperatures, the increase in COP by steam injection is remarkable. In this study, the performance of the cooling system with the injection cycle was evaluated, the system with this injection cycle resulted in an increase in cooling capacity of 3.26% and an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 2.32%.

This paper presented and used experimental analysis to examine design that integrates an active heat recovery wheel mechanism into a windcatcher. A rotational thermal heat recovery is incorporated into the windcatcher channel of the proposed system. An experiment was conducted to examine how the heat recovery mechanism affected the windcatcher performance, demonstrating the system ability to provide the necessary fresh air rates. A test room model, measuring 4x4x3 meters and depicting a small classroom, was integrated with the windcatcher model. Ventilation rates managed to supply sufficient ventilation even with the rotational heat recovery wheel blocked. This active recovery has the potential to lessen the demand on space heating systems in addition to providing enough ventilation. The heat in the exhaust airstreams was caught and transferred to the incoming airstream, boosting the temperature between 7-9oC depending on the indoor/outdoor conditions. This indicates that there is a great deal of room for further development of the idea, allowing for larger-scale testing and investigation of the system's heat transfer characteristics.
