PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF AN INTEGRATED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to highlight the importance of using an eco-friendly system that uses waste heat, the research focuses on a detailed theoretical analysis, carried out for an Integrated Refrigeration System (IRS) using R-22 and R-717 as the refrigerants in vapour compression system and LiBr/H2Oas the absorbent-refrigerant pair in a single effect vapour absorption system. In the present work emphasis is on waste heat recovery from superheat horn of a vapour compression refrigeration system utilized in cold storage or ice plants of large capacity. The analysis has been done according to the applications of refrigeration. The Integrated Refrigeration System consist two refrigeration systems: a. Vapour Compression Refrigeration (VCR) system and b. Vapour Absorption Refrigeration (VAR) system. A computer program has been made in Engineering Equation Solver (version 7.929) to predict the performance of Integrated Refrigeration System (IRS). The effects of the effectivene...
