Optimization of operation modes in a refrigerating unit with the accumulator of natural cold using the method of thermoeconomic analysis

Krainev A.A., Serikov S.A.


Abstract
The technique discussed was developed on the basis of thermoeconomic analysis. It is instrumental in choosing an optimal operating mode for a refrigerating unit with the accumulator of natural cold used to overcool a liquid refrigerant before the thermostatic expansion valve. The functional hydraulic circuit of a refrigerating unit with the accumulator of natural cold is shown, and a thermoeconomic model of such unit is demonstrated. The systems of equations are presented whose solving would help to identify temperature values for an optimal operation mode of such refrigerating unit.

Keywords: optimization of operation modes, accumulator of natural cold, method of thermoeconomic analysis, reduction of power consumption.
