Abstract

Multi-stage vapor compression refrigeration cycles are used in low temperature applications, as well as in refrigeration applications where temperature difference is high. In recent years, as environmental factors have gained more importance, the use of alternative refrigerants has been investigated. Although the way to research and achieve energy savings in refrigeration cycles seems to be minimizing compressor work, it is more attractive to work on optimizing the Coefficient of Performance (COP) as it gives the minimum power required for unit cooling. In this study, the performances of different refrigerants when used in an ideal two-stage vapor compression refrigeration cycle are analyzed parametrically and compared. Separate COP values of the system were calculated for each refrigerant by changing the evaporation and condensation temperatures. In addition, the compressor work and the changes of the cooling loads of the system are also presented. The highest COP value in the system was obtained at 5 °C evaporation temperature in case of using the refrigerant R600 with 6.593, while the lowest value was obtained as 3.311 when R227ea was used at 50 °C condensation temperature.

Abstract

Çok kademeli buhar sıkıştırmalı soğutma çevrimleri, düşük sıcaklık uygulamalarında kullanılmasının yanı sıra, sıcaklık farkının yüksek olduğu soğutma uygulamalarında da tercih edilmektedir. Son yıllarda çevresel faktörlerin daha fazla önem kazanması ile birlikte alternatif soğutucu akışkanlar kullanımı araştırılmaktadır. Soğutma çevrimlerinde enerji tasarrufunu araştırmanın ve sağlamanın yolu her ne kadar kompresör işini minimuma indirmek gibi görünse de, birim soğutma için gerekli minimum gücü verdiği için Performans Katsayısını (COP) optimize etme üzerinde çalışmak daha cazip gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada, iki kademeli buhar sıkıştırmalı ideal bir soğutma çevriminde kullanılması durumunda farklı soğutucu akışkanların performansları parametrik olarak incelenerek mukayeseleri yapılmıştır. Buharlaşma ve yoğuşma sıcaklıklarının değişimi ile her bir akışkan için sistemin ayrı ayrı COP değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca sistemin kompresör işi ve soğutma yüklerinin değişimleri de sunulmuştur. Sistemde en yüksek COP değeri, 6.593 ile soğutucu akışkan R600 kullanılması durumunda 5 °C buharlaşma sıcaklığında elde edilirken, en düşük değer 3.311 ile 50 °C yoğuşma sıcaklığında R227ea kullanılması durumunda elde edilmiştir.
