Introduction Chilling freshly harvested beef carcasses is necessary for food safety and quality purposes. Before mechanical refrigeration, meat either had to be consumed immediately after slaughter or be preserved through salting, curing, and/or smoking. With the advent of mechanical refrigeration and networks of refrigerated carriers, the production, processing, and distribution of carcasses a...

Supermarkets suffer serious financial losses owing to problems with their refrigeration systems. Most refrigeration units have controllers which output "high-temperature" and similar alarms. We describe a system developed to predict alarm volumes from this data in advance, and compare evolved and backpropogation-trained neural networks, and evolved rulesets for this task.

refrigerants that are used in refrigeration systems, cause environmental difficulties such as depletion of ozone layer and greenhouse effect. thus, we must find substitutes for such refrigerants, in this paper, the effect of refrigerant on the thermodynamics performance of refrigeration cycles are studied. to do this, a refrigerator that has designed for r12, is simulated. results show that pur...

The energy crisis in recent years has led to the use of thermodynamic cycles that work based on renewable energies. Low-temperature cycles—such as organic cycles—are suitable strategies for the application of renewable energies. The present study proposes a novel cycle through the integration of a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle with a combined Rankine power and ejector refrigerat...

An adsorption system driven by solar heat or waste heat can help to eliminate the use of ozone depletion substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydro-chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). In recent years, adsorption system has witnessed an increasing interest in many fields due to the fact that this system is quiet, long lasting, cheap to maintain and environmentally benign. Although adsorpt...

introduction pulmonary vein (pv) isolation is considered as a key to atrial fibrillation (af) treatment. cryoballoon ablation is an effective therapy for pv isolation for af with minimal side effects and was approved by the us food and drug administration (fda) several years ago. successful isolation of pvs during cryoablation depends on the balloon temperature and helps in early identification...

joule-thomson cooling systems are used in refrigeration processes such as cryogenic gas liquefaction. although extensive studies have been carried out by researchers, most of them include cryogenic heat exchangers and their associated fields. in the current study, an attempt was made to indicate the effect of using inappropriate operational conditions in a cryogenic joule-thomson cooling system...

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...
