R744-R717 Cascade Refrigeration System: Performance Evaluation compared with a HFC Two-Stage System

Performance Evaluation of DiffServ Driven HFC System

Shared access networks such as hybrid fiber/coaxial and passive optical networks have emerged as promising ways to reduce the cost of the transition to a broadband access infrastructure and provide a graceful upgrade path towards the photonization of the local loop. The MAC protocol as the only arbiter of the upstream bandwidth directly affects the Quality of Service (QoS) provided to each upst...

Performance Analysis of CO2/NH3 Cascade Refrigeration System Using ANNs

In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used for performance analysis of a CO2/NH3 cascade refrigeration system using a data set, obtained from a thermodynamic model implemented in EES. Thermodynamic parameters of the system are estimated in terms of condensing temperature of ammonia, evaporating temperature of carbon dioxide, condensing temperature of carbon dioxide and temp...

Optimal Synthesis of a Cascade Refrigeration System of LNG Through MINLP Model for Pure Refrigerant Cycles

 liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...

Simulation of NH3/CO2 Two-Stage Low Temperature Refrigeration System

Studied is a kind of NH3/CO2 two-stage low temperature refrigeration system, in which NH3 is used as the refrigerant in the high-temperature stage and CO2 is used as the refrigerant in the low-temperature stage. The performance of the system is simulated and analyzed by changing the mean temperature of the evaporator-condenser and the temperature of the condenser. The mean temperatures of the e...
