Abstract This study analyses the performance of plug-in refrigeration equipment, which has condenser on system and delivers heat to indoor medium, using mixtures with low-global warming potential (GWP). The theoretical drop-in replacement R404A that is widely used in investigated utilizing refrigerants GWP<150 such as R454C, R455A, R457A R465A. In study, four cases evaporation temperatur...

the purpose of this research is to investigate thermoeconomic optimization and exergy analysis of transcritical co2 refrigeration cycle with an ejector. after modeling thermodynamic equations of elements and considering optimization parameters of emerging temperature of gas of cooler (tgc) , emerging pressure of cooler's gas (pgc) , and evaporative temperature (tevp) , optimization of targ...

This paper introduces the dual-mode refrigeration system for ice storage air conditioning. A computational model relating to the exergy loss amount and loss rate is developed in each component of the refrigeration cycle loop. A case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the model developed. Exergy analysis results of the refrigeration system in ice storage operating mode are co...

The refrigeration cycle with the thro~tling device has moe work power consumption and less refrigeration capacity than tha~ with the expander. It is S':Jggested that substituting the expander for the throttling device in the refrigeration cycle should be the efficient way for saving the energy of the refrigeration system. Up to now, the design and ~anufacturing of the two-phase expander seems t...

Refrigeration is one of the leading uses of electric power in the United States. The term "refrigeration" refers to air-conditioning for homes, businesses, and industry and the operation of refrigerators, freezers, and heat pumps. The technology most often used in refrigeration, the vapor compression cycle, is 100 years old, inefficient, and environmentally unsound. Since the 1980s, the refrige...

Ammonia can be applied to any type and size of refrigeration system from domestic refrigeration to commercial refrigeration and air-conditioning to industrial refrigeration. However, it is desirable to minimize the charge to prevent toxic effects and, sometimes to use secondary refrigerants, such as volatile carbon dioxide, to keep ammonia away from the general public. This article describes a ...

â liquefied natural gas (lng) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (ng) over long distances. liquefaction of ng by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...

The paper focuses on the operation of simple refrigeration cycles. With equipment given, there are, from a control and operational point of iew, five steady-state degrees of freedom; the compressor power, the heat transfer in the condenser, the heat transfer in the evaporator, the choke alve opening and the active charge in the cycle. Different designs for affecting the active charge, including...
