 OBJECTIVE
 Electricity is one of the major need of the people. What if we can generate it for free using some
Engineering approach ?

 In this project we are aiming to : 1. To decrease the temperature of Exhaust.

 2. And further to generate Power .

 We are generating power from Kinetic Energy of Vapour of Refrigerant’s Latent Heat that is being
wasted to the surrounding .

 As these Vapour themperature is high compared to the surrounding, we are first cooling the vapour
by expanding them through diffusers, keeping in mind of the Global Warming.

 Then the vapour passes through the duct which is in the form nozzle.

 At the end of the duct there is a Turbine which is connected to the generator which produces
Electricity. Though the Electricity produced is very less.

 It can be used in the area or building where there are many A/Cs attached.
 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
 Air-conditioning is that process used to create and maintain certain temperature, relative humidity and 
air purity conditions in indoor spaces. This process is typically applied to maintain a level of personal 
comfort.
 The main process underlying air-conditioning is the exchange of heat and water vapour between the 
indoor and outdoor environments and the people inside the air-conditioned space.
 As we could see the need of AC how vigorously increased, we have the data from 2012 – 2017.
Global room air conditioners (RAC) demand is reached 96.05 million units in 2017, with a
significant increase compared with 2016.
The largest market was China, as the world’s single-largest producer of room air
conditioners (RAC), as well as the largest buyer in terms of the number of RACs, procured
annually.
The second-largest market was Asia, excluding Japan and China.
The third largest market is Japan, whose demand reached 8.93 million units with a 6.9%
increase. North America reached 8.13 million units with a 1.2% increase, followed by Latin
America with 6.09 million units and 5.3% increase, and Europe with 5.83 million units and
8.7% increase.

 The Reason we are presenting this data
Is to show that how much AC is contributing
Towards the global warming
And it is day by day increasing globally.
So that is the reason we are expanding the hot air
from the exhaust and reduce its temperature so that it
does not harm our environment.
And we are further harnessing the electricity with the
help of micro motor wind turbine.
The principal appliances used in home and industrial
air-conditioning are:

 Packaged, split or multi-split air-conditioners for 
home use;
 Residential heat pumps;
 Air handling units for medium/large spaces;
 Rooftop units, air handling units for small spaces;
MECHANISM OF AC

An air conditioner (AC) in a room or a car works by collecting

hot air from a given space, processing it to release cool air into the
same space where the hot air had originally been collected.
This processing is primarily done using five components:
 Evaporator
 Compressor
 Condenser
 Expansion valve
 Refrigerant
SYSTEM’s
PARTS :
1.SPLIT AC OUTDOOR UNIT
2. DIVERGENT NOZZLE

A divergent nozzle is a tube of varying cross-sectional area (usually axisymmetric) aiming at decreasing
the speed , temperature and pressure of an outflow air and controlling its direction.

CALCULATION

While Studying about the Project Work We Have Considered, 
Hyundai 24K Split Fixed Type Split AC 
Outdoor Unit : HRH – I243NBE (220 – 240 V / 50Hz)
As we are using thermocouples in Diffuser which will 
give the temperature 
of inside and outside point.
For the further calculation of turbine output we will use 
the equation of wind turbine.
So we could use the Fan Motor Speed that is 850 rpm
We could use this velocity to harness the electricity 
when we it impinges on the turbine blades 
How ever from the betz limit we could only able to 
harness 59%, but practically we could achieve 30% .
