Abstract
The use of a water cycle for cooling a multi-stage compression of air requires high energy inputs. Using an ejector based refrigeration cycle to improve the cooling cycle of the compressor could reduce the costs linked to the energy consumption. This thesis develops a MatLAB real gas model to predict ejector performance. Ejector cycles are then coupled to the air compressor in order to compare their consumption with the original air compressor setup.
