Assessment of a novel defrost method for PV/T system assisted sustainable refrigeration system
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Karaağaç, Mehmet Onur; Ergun, Alper; Gürel, Ali Etem; Ceylan, İlhan; Yıldız, Gökhan
Energy consumption has continuously increased depending on the rapidly growing human population, enlarging economies, advancing technologies, and improving living standards. A noteworthy share of the energy consumption has been arising from the buildings all across the world. Refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning systems have accounted for a significant portion of the energy consumption in the buildings. Therefore, it is possible to both reduce energy consumption, and mitigate the carbon footprints by efficiently designing, constructing, and operating these systems. In this framework, the present research has centered on the refrigeration systems, and aimed to develop a novel defrost method for photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) assisted sustainable refrigeration systems. In the conventional refrigeration systems, the frost process occurs when air condenses on the evaporator surface as a result of the evaporator surface temperature being below the freezing point of water or the dew point temperature of the air in the conditioned space. Differently in the present work, PV/T system is used to prevent the frost process in the refrigeration system, unlike the conventional systems. Accordingly, the efficiency loss caused by the temperature increment will be prevented by cooling the PV module, and it is aimed to be more efficient by reducing the daily power consumption as an alternative solution method to the frost that occurred on the evaporator in refrigeration systems. On this purpose, a novel evaporator design is developed, and used for defrosting in this study. Accordingly, this novel design includes a refrigerant line inside the evaporator and a hot water line from the PV/T in this design. In the results, it is noticed that the system designed for winter conditions could be used for defrosting. While an average of 605 W for heat energy was used for each defrost process, the average defrost duration was recorded to be approximately 4 min. While the average electrical efficiency of the PV module was found to be 13.6%, the average total efficiency was found to be 38%. Besides, Average PV module surface temperature was determined as 36.4 degrees C, average water storage tank temperature was determined as 26.4 degrees C. In addition, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigeration system is calculated to be 4.18. COP increased by an average of 9% during defrosting. Furthermore, the environmental economic cost was calculated to be 14.6 $/h. In the conclusion, it is proven that the novel defrost method proposed in the present work can be used for refrigeration systems, and contribute to both the reduction of energy consumption and mitigation of carbon emissions arising from the buildings.
Assessment of a solar-assisted infrared timber drying system
(Wiley, 2017) Aktaş, Mustafa; Ceylan, İlhan; Ergün, Alper; Gürel, Ali Etem; Atar, Musa
This study investigates convective-infrared drying characteristics of timber. The biggest disadvantage of infrared heating systems is the uncontrollable rise of the surface temperature up to extremely high values, which causes damage to the product. In this study, the power of an infrared system was controlled and adjusted according to the surface temperature of the product. In doing so, the surface temperature of the infrared heater was prevented from reaching up to values that could damage the product. During the analysis, the surface temperature of the timbers was kept at an average of 65 degrees C, while the bottom temperature was kept at an average of 45 degrees C. The air collector used in the system was found to be 50% efficient. At the end of a 13-h drying period, the moisture content of pine timbers could be reduced from 1.42 to 0.0948 g water/g dry matter. During the system analysis, parameters such as moisture content, mass diffusion coefficient, and useful energy rate were taken into consideration.

Cooling of a photovoltaic module with temperature controlled solar collector
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2014) Ceylan, İlhan; Gürel, Ali Etem; Demircan, Hüsamettin; Aksu, Bahri
The efficiency of photovoltaic modules decreases with heating, so there has been an increase with regard to the solution of the problem. Photovoltaic module converts the incoming solar radiation into heat and electric energy. Due to this heating feature of photovoltaic modules, it is likely to produce heat energy from PV modules as well. Such systems are called as both a photovoltaic and thermal systems in the literature. A lot of experimental studies were done by special processing on the PV module. Since the studies require special processing on the module, they remain as laboratory work only. In this study, different PV/T systems were experimentally analyzed for the cooling photovoltaic modules. A simple pipe was placed on PV module as a spiral heat exchanger in order to provide active cooling. Also, the system can easily be applied to large-scale systems. As a result of experimental research, the module efficiencies with cooling were calculated as 13%, and the module efficiencies without cooling were about 10%. As the set temperature increased, module temperature can be increased or decreased. The module temperature was changed according to solar radiation and set temperature. As the solar radiation increased the module temperature decreased in this experimental system. The solar radiation has nothing to do with set temperature for this system. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

(Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Ağbulut, Ümit; Yıldız, Gökhan; Bakır, H.; Polat, Fikret; Biçen, Yunus; Ergün, Adem; Gürel, Ali Etem
In today's world, most countries including Türkiye have met their electricity demand at a dominant rate by burning fossil-based fuels in thermal power plants. However, fossil-fuel reserves have been rapidly depleted, resulting in high volatility in these fuels’ markets, as well as alarming environmental, and economic problems for the governments. In recent years, many governments have started to face these problems and have rapidly transitioned to renewable and alternative carbon-free energy sources in their electricity production variety. However, these belated steps have failed to mitigate the increment in global greenhouse gas emissions against the rapid growth of population and energy demand. In recent years, Türkiye has put a noteworthy challenge to mitigate its dominant use of fossil fuels, reducing its energy dependence, sustaining its economic development, and mitigating the carbon footprint. From this point of view, it is witnessed that many power plants have been established, many of them are currently under construction, especially to produce more electricity in a sustainable way. Accordingly, the present study aims to comprehensively discuss Türkiye's energy production policy, energy potential and reserves, challenges, future opportunities, and the impacts of the energy sector on the economic and environmental issues for the country. In this framework, it is well-noticed that the country's future energy production policy has been reasonably changed in order to achieve positive economic and environmental outcomes in the medium and long term. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Ceylan, İlhan; Yılmaz, Sezayi; İnanç, Özgür; Ergün, Alper; Gürel, Ali Etem; Acar, Bahadır; Aksu, Ali İlker
In this study, the efficiency of the rear-panel air velocity in cooling was investigated based on the temperature and solar radiation in the environment where the panels are located. During the cooling of the panels, the rear-panel temperature decreases, and accordingly, the open-circuit voltage of the panels increases. At present, the most important losses in panels are due to the increase in panel temperature depending on the solar radiation and outdoor air temperature. In this study, the rear-panel temperature changes were observed at 0-5 m/s air velocities and 10-40 degrees C. The calculations reveal that in winter weather conditions, the temperature of the panels did not increase at a level that would require cooling. This study investigated the heat transfer from the surface depending on the outdoor air temperature of the rear-panel air velocity and the changing rear-panel temperature. The effect of different outdoor air temperatures on the rear-panel heat transfer is minimal. When the air velocity was 5 m/s and the outdoor air temperature was 10-40 degrees C, the heat transfer in the Poly Crystal Solar panel was calculated as 11.6 W/m(2)K. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

(2011) Gürel, Ali Etem; Daşdemir, Ali
In the countries which supply big amount of their energy needs by import like Turkey using the energy economically is important. Thermal insulation technologies in buildings are the main method for using energy economically. However, choosing the thickness of the insulation material redundant causes high insulation costs. For this reason, an optimum point provides the highest gain in insulation applications is the subject. In this study, for Antalya, Manisa, Ankara and Sivas in the four climate regions in Turkey and optimum insulation thickness, energy saving and payback period in using two different insulation materials (extruded polystrene and rock wool) and five different kinds of fuel (coal, natural gas, fuel-oil, LPG, electricity) were calculated. In addition to this, an analysis of insulation thickness of the harmful emissions of the gas like CO2 and SO2 was made. The results of the study showed that the optimum insulation thickness vary between 0.016 and 0.145 m, energy savings vary between 1.79 $/m2 and 103.44 $/m2 and the payback period vary between 1.268 years and 6.022 years depending on the city and type of fuel. Environmental impacts of high used coal fuels were observed during the combustion, and emissions of CO2 and SO2 revealed decreases between 67%-75%.
Effect of the use of metal–oxide and boron-based nanoparticles on the performance in a photovoltaic thermal module (PV/T): Experimental study
(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Dalmış, Muhyeddin; Gürel, Ali Etem; Yildiz, Gokhan; Ergün, Alper; Ağbulut, Ümit
Renewable energy sources are constantly on the agenda because the fossil fuels used are limited and the need for energy is constantly increasing. Among these resources, solar energy stands out because it is clean and endless energy. Nowadays, heat energy and electrical energy production from solar energy are quite common. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels can convert a limited portion of the solar energy falling on them into electrical energy. In PV panels, heat energy that cannot be converted into electricity is discharged back to the external environment. Photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) panels are used to remove this heat from the system and convert it into useful energy. Many cooling techniques are applied to reduce the surface temperature of PV/T panels and increase their electrical efficiency. One of these techniques is liquid-cooled PV/T panels. In some of the studies, forced circulation (using a pump) and in others natural circulation (thermosiphon effect) were applied. In this study, a natural circulation indirect heated PV/T system was designed. Al2O3, ZnO, and BN nanoparticle concentrations were added to the cooling water to increase heat transfer within the PV/T panel. According to the experimental results, using nanofluid in the PV/T panel increased the thermal and total efficiency. Total efficiencies of ZnO, BN, and Al2O3 were obtained as 52.8 %, 47.86 %, and 43.49 %, respectively, at 0.03 concentration. The highest exergy efficiency and sustainability index were determined as 17.155 % and 1.207, respectively, at 0.03 concentration of ZnO nanofluid. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(Elsevier, 2022) Yıldız, Gökhan; Ağbulut, Ümit; Gürel, Ali Etem; Ergün, Alper; Afzal, Asif; Saleel, C. Ahamed
The heat pumps are frequently used in domestic and industrial applications for hot water supply. The present paper aims to thermodynamically investigate the impacts of the nanoparticle-addition into the lubricants on the energetic, exergetic, and thermoeconomic aspects of a heat pump. In the experiments, air to the water heat pump is separately charged with various metal oxide-based nanoparticles (Al2O3, CuO, and TiO2)-added oils at a constant mass fraction of 0.5%. Polyolester (POE) and 134a are used as a lubricant, and refrigerant, respectively. The mass flow rates of the water passed through the condenser are varied from 10 to 25 g/s with an interval of 5 g/s. In the results, it is observed that the thermal conductivity value noteworthy increases with the presence of nanoparticles in POE. The highest increment in thermal conductivity is found to be 39% for POE + CuO in comparison with that of pure POE. Furthermore, with nanoparticles addition, it is noticed that the COP value generally improves, and the highest improvement for COP value is noticed to be 8% for POE + TiO2 nanolubricant at the mass flow of 25 g/s. Furthermore, exergy efficiency enhances by 3.6%, 1.8%, and 4.5% for POE + Al2O3, POE + CuO, and POE + TiO2, respectively. The lowest heating cost is calculated to be 3.465 c/kWh at 20 g/s flow rate for POE + Al2O3. In conclusion, this paper clearly reports that usage of nanoparticles along with lubricants is presenting better energetic, exergetic, and thermoeconomic results rather than the usage of lubricant alone in the heat pumps.
Energy Analysis of a New Design of a Photovoltaic Cell-Assisted Solar Dryer
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013) Ceylan, İlhan; Kaya, Metin; Gürel, Ali Etem; Ergün, Alper
In this study, a new type of solar dryer was designed and manufactured. This new solar dryer is composed of a heat pipe collector, a drying chamber, a load cell, an air circulation fan, photovoltaic cells (PvC), batteries, and halogen lamps. In this experimental study, tomatoes were used to test the drying process. The drying air was heated by the heat pipe collector and forced through the tomatoes by a blower fan during the daytime. The photovoltaic cells, which were used to run the fan, were also used to charge the batteries during the day. These charged batteries were used for running the halogen lamps during the night, when the halogen lamps were used to heat the drying-air-assisted photovoltaic cells. During the drying period, the drying air temperature, relative humidity, air flow rates, solar radiation, and loss of mass were measured in the solar dryer. Then, the measured data were used for energy analysis.
Energy and exergy analyses of modified solar still with coated hybrid nanomaterial on absorber plate
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Rai, Khushbu; Pandey, Harsh Kumar; Kumar, Rahul; Sharma, Abhishek; Yadav, Anil Singh; Sharma, Neeraj; Gürel, Ali Etem
Although desalination methods have been extensively used, many of them need substantial installations and access to sophisticated infrastructure to generate fresh water. The solar still uses 0.2% reduced graphene/cerium oxide nanoparticles as a hybrid nanoparticle material and it uses coated absorber solar still. The hybrid nanomaterial is embedded in commercial black paint of absorber plate and walls of solar still. Exergy annihilations in different parts of the sun-powered stills have been determined and examined. Dissipation is quicker and the exergy of evaporation is higher at improved sunlight-based stills than that of black paint coating still. Moreover, the exergy and energy efficiencies of the improved stills are upgraded contrasted and with the black paint coating still. A short conversation concerning the impact of various boundaries on sunlight-based stills effectiveness is likewise introduced. The daytime energy productivity of reduced graphene and cerium oxide/water blends is 43.26%, yet the old style is just 30.17%. The hourly exergy efficiency increases up to 0.47% by using nanoparticle coating. It has been discovered that salty water temperature and heat transfer rate are both increased by adding graphene/cerium oxide nanoparticles to black paint. The proposed system's solar still productivity is higher than that of black paint coating on the absorber plate of the solar still. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Yildiz, Gokhan; Gürel, Ali Etem; Katircioǧlu, Ferzan; Ağbulut, Ümit
Despite the rise in the prices of fossil fuels, the increase in their demand, and damaging the environment, a large part of the world's energy needs have been today met by fossil fuels. In this direction, interest in renewable energy sources has increased. Solar energy stands out among renewable energy sources because it is endless and clean. However, today, the use of solar energy is not used alone, but in combination with other thermal energy systems. In building applications, it is mostly used in heating, refrigeration, and HVAC systems, which have a high part in energy consumption. In this study, the solar energy and cooling system were not used separately as in previous studies but were used as a hybrid. The focus was on increasing the performance of both systems by operating them together. In this study, energy, exergy, thermoeconomic, and environmental analyses were applied to the PV/T-assisted vapor compression refrigeration system (PV/T-VCRS) at different storage temperatures (25 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C). As a result, an 8.5 % lower surface temperature of the module in PV/T-VCRS 25 °C was measured compared to PV/T-VCRS 30 °C and 35 °C. In direct proportion to the module surface temperatures, 13 % better electrical efficiency was obtained in PV/T-VCRS 25 °C compared to 30 °C and 35 °C. The COP value increased by 15.46 % in PV/T-VCRS 25 °C compared to 30 °C and 35 °C. A 13 % improvement in exergy efficiency was observed in PV/T-VCRS 25 °C compared to 30 °C and 35 °C. The enviroeconomic parameter PV/T-VCRS is calculated as 15.17 ¢/h, 16.52 ¢/h, and 17.6 ¢/h for 25 °C, 30 °C and 35 °C. Another advantage of the system is that hot water is obtained at set temperatures. In PV/T-VCRS, 475 L, 300 L, and 210 L of hot water were obtained at 25 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C, respectively. As a result, the performance of the PV/T-VCRS was good, with the added benefit of performing close to the performances when PV/T and VCRS were used separately. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Energy, exergy, environmental, and economic (4E) analyses of the usability of various nano-sized particles added lubricant in a heat pump system
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Yildiz, Gokhan; Gürel, Ali Etem; Cingiz, Zafer; Ağbulut, Ümit
The need for energy is rising significantly with the growth of technology in the world. This energy need is largely met by fossil fuels. The enhancement in their prices and the damage they induce to the environment, scientists have turned to alternative energy sources due to the depletion of fossil fuels. In recent years, these alternative energy sources have come to the fore as solar, wind, and wave energy. However, heating and refrigeration systems, whose share of energy consumption in buildings in the world is 40 %, can also compete with these alternative energy sources. In particular, heat pumps (HP) are at a level that can compete with renewable energy sources to seriously reduce this rate. In this study, different nanoparticles were added to the Polyol ester oil (POE) utilized in the compressor to enhance the performance of the HP. Thermodynamic, environmental, and economic performances of the obtained nanolubricants at different concentrations (0.5 wt% and 1 wt%) and flow rates (15, 30, and 45 g/s) were evaluated. The highest COP value of the HP was calculated as 4.14 at 0.5 wt% B-POE at 45 g/s. The best energy consumption in the HP was obtained with 0.5 wt% B-POE nanolubricant with a decrease of 10.96 % at 45 g/s compared to pure POE. The highest exergy efficiency in the HP was calculated at 0.5 wt% B-POE nanolubricant with a 13.53 % increase at 30 g/s compared to pure POE. The best exergoeconomic parameter (Rg,ex) performance was determined as 3.7148 kWh/$ in 1 wt% TiO2-POE nanolubricant at 45 g/s. The best enviro-economic value of 0.16182 ¢/h was obtained with 0.5 wt% B-POE nanolubricant at 45 g/s. In line with the results obtained, it was observed that the B-POE nanolubricant has a performance that can compete with the good-performing TiO2-POE nanolubricant. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Environmental and economic assessment of a low energy consumption household refrigerator
(Elsevier B.V., 2019) Gürel, Ali Etem; Ağbulut, Ümit; Ergün, Alper; Ceylan, İlhan
Energy consumption is the biggest obstacle in the economic growth of a country. In recent years, Turkey has imported around at the rate of three-quarters of its total energy demand. Upon the past 10-years running, Turkey paid nearly half a trillion dollars for its total energy bill. The big share of energy consumption has emerged from buildings. Therefore, energy savings have great importance, particularly in the buildings. A refrigerator is responsible for the most dominant electrical energy consumption rate with 32% in a house. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel household refrigerator design for reducing energy consumption. In the proposed design, the necessary air for the cooling process will be provided from outdoor ambient in appropriate weather condition. The compressor work will, thus, be decreased via this way, and contribute to a reduction in energy consumption. The results indicated that this system in 63 provinces can be effectively used between 1 and 4 months and help to reduce 36 million $ in Turkish electric energy bill with the use of only 1 year period. Additionally, a reduction of approximately 850,000 tons of CO2 annually in Turkey can be achieved by applying the proposed design in this study. Hereby, Turkey can contribute not only to be sustained economic growth but also to reduce harmful gas emissions arising from electricity generation methods in the country. © 2019 Karabuk University

(Wiley, 2015) Ceylan, İlhan; Gürel, Ali Etem
Photovoltaic (PV) module converts the incoming solar radiation into heat and electric energy. Due to this heating feature of photovoltaic modules, it is likely to produce heat energy from PV modules as well. Such systems are known as photovoltaic and thermal systems in the literature. In this study, a new design PV/T system was experimentally analyzed for cooling photovoltaic modules while heating water at the same time. PV/Tis a forced circulation system without pump. Therefore, these systems are different from those described in the literature. For all PV/T system, step-by-step exergy analysis has been performed according to obtained experimental results. PV module thermal exergy, solar collector thermal exergy, and PV module electrical exergy variations have been calculated for this exergy analysis. Overall, exergy efficiency was obtained as about 17% for 45 degrees C set temperature and 21% for 55 degrees C set temperature.

(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2016) Gürel, Ali Etem
Photovoltaic module efficiency can be increased by concentrating the solar radiation that is captured. This approach, however, may increase cell temperature and decrease the efficiency of the module. Such conditions can be prevented by cooling down the photovoltaic modules. Currently, this operation is generally performed with water or air. To improve cooling, this study presents the design, manufacture and analysis of a concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPV/T) system utilising paraffin wax, which is a novel method, to cool down photovoltaic cells and to store thermal energy. Exergy analysis was done for various system states of this system in which a concentrator was used and not used, and results were compared. Even with the use of a concentrator in the system, the average temperature of the photovoltaic cells was measured as 30 degrees C. The average electrical efficiency of photovoltaic cells in the system was calculated as 14.67%.

(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Gürel, Ali Etem; Yıldız, Gökhan; Ergün, Adem; Ceylan, İlhan
Solar energy systems are widely utilized to obtain environmentally friendly and sustainable electrical and thermal energy that able to be used in many applications. Temperature-controlled solar air heater (SAH) system with a zigzag finned plate and flat plate was designed, manufactured, and tested experimentally in this study. It was determined that the set temperature was 15% higher than the flat plate SAH outlet temperature. The most important cause for this increase, the air is exposed preheating in the first collector. As the heat transfer surface area raised thanks to the zigzag fins in the second collector, the temperature of the air increases even more. SAH system's energy efficiency was found to be 71.15% on average. SAH system's maximum exergy efficiency was determined as 3.7%. The SAH system's average exergy destruction is calculated to be 651.58 W on average. According to the enviroeconomic analysis of the system, hourly CO2 mitigation was found to be 1.04 kg CO2/h and the environmental cost was 1.508 ¢/h. The energy cost was calculated as 0.0834 $/kWh, while the exergoeconomic parameter was calculated as 0.1931 kWh/$. In addition, the energy payback period was determined as 1.35 years, while the exergy payback period was determined as 45.9 years. © 2021
