Optimum Performance Analysis of a Hybrid Cascade Refrigeration System Using Alternative Refrigerants. Boyaghchi, F.A. Nowadays, both industry and civil use are increasingly dependent on natural gas. Thermodynamic design of a cascade refrigeration system of liquefiednatural gas by applying mixed integer non-linear programming. These tradeoffs include environmental attributes like ODP and GWP, safety factors like flammability and toxicity, as well as thermodynamic properties that affect system efficiency such as heat capacity, isentropic efficiency, temperature glide and pressure drop. Refrigeration technology plays an important role in human production and life; it is widely used in daily lives, commerce, and industrial production. <>stream STCRS is a traditional refrigeration system, which is widely used in air-conditioning systems.

When water is coupled with protective solutions to prevent freezing (i.e., propylene or ethylene glycol), it can also be used well below water’s normal freezing point in applications such as ice slurries. A��ڷ$S�'����k�V�����k�a�=T����1 endobj This prevents old coolant systems from being able to be retrofitted in order to use carbon dioxide. Moreover, the evaporation pressure of the refrigerant should be close to or slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure to increase the chance of air mixing into the system. This prevents coagulation of the refrigerant due to very low temperature in the low temperature cycle. Xu, X.; Liu, J.; Cao, L.

A refrigerant is a chemical used in cooling systems for mechanical devices such as refrigerators, walk-in freezers, or air conditioners. In the selection of working fluids, besides thermodynamic properties, physical and chemical properties of working fluids should also be considered, such as toxicity, combustibility, explosivity, interaction with metal materials, interaction with lubricants, low boiling temperature, and atmospheric environmental friendliness. Parallel compression can offer efficiency advantages of 3.6% in moderate and 5.0% in warm climates. Keshtkar, M.M.
