- •
Utilization of geothermal energy and vortex tube in city gate station is investigated.
- •
The thermal and economic performance of the system was evaluated up to 25 years.
- •
The proposed system can reduce energy consumption up to 88%.
- •
The discounted payback period of the offered system is always less than 4.5 years.
