| Abstract | Elastocaloric cooling is a novel environment-friendly alternative to vapor compression-based cooling systems. This solid-state cooling technology uses NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) as cooling medium. SMAs are well known for lightweight actuator systems and biomedical applications, but in addition, these alloys exhibit excellent cooling properties. Due to the high latent heats activated by mechanical loading/unloading, large temperature changes can be generated in the material. Accompanied by a small required work input, this also leads to a high coefficient of performance superior to vapor compression-based systems. In order to access the potential of these alloys, the development of suitable thermodynamic cooling cycles and an efficient system design are required. This paper presents a model-based design process of an elastocaloric air-cooling device. The device is divided into two parts, a mechanical system for continuously loading and unloading of multiple SMA wire bundles by a rotary motor and a heat transfer system. The heat transfer system enables an efficient heat exchange between the heat source and the SMA wires as well as between the SMA wires and the environment. The device operates without any additional heat transfer medium and cools the heat source directly, which is an advantage in comparison to conventional cooling systems. The design of this complex device in an efficient manner requires a model approach, capable of predicting the system parameters cooling power, mechanical work and coefficient of performance under various operating conditions. The developed model consists of a computationally efficient, thermo-mechanically coupled and energy based SMA model, a model of the system kinematics and a heat transfer model. With this approach, the complete cooling system can be simulated, and the required number of SMA wires as well as the mechanical power can be predicted in order to meet the system requirements. Based on the simulation results a first prototype of the elastocaloric cooling system is realized. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
