A dual-loop cycle for a domestic refrigerator-freezer (RF) has a large energy saving potential because of lower compression ratio due to higher evaporating temperature in the fresh food compartment (R)-operation, and the individual optimization flexibility for each loop, compared to a conventional refrigeration cycle. In this study, the optimization of the dual-loop cycle was carried out. The o...

performance optimization of a single-effect lithium bromide water absorption refrigerationsystem is the subject of this paper. first, the thermodynamic model of the system wasderived based on thefirst and second law analysis of an absorption refrigeration cycle with libr-water as the working fluid pair.then, the effects of different design parameters such as the generator inlet hot water temper...

A novel multigeneration system using dual renewable energy sources (i.e., geothermal and solar) is introduced, analyzed, optimized. The integration of a line, solar tower, steam Rankine cycle, two organic cycles, an ejector refrigeration thermoelectric generator unit, reverse osmosis subsystem forms the entire system. outputs this energy-conversion are heating load, cooling electricity, freshwa...

a refrigeration cycle is a chain of various pieces of equipment including compressors, condensers, evaporators, and expansion devices each of which takes on a particular thermodynamic process duty in the cycle that eventually results in the production of the required refrigeration. the results of optimized mixed refrigerant cycles (mrcs) in part i show that the configuration of mrc is an effect...

This paper attends to demonstrate the usefulness of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in magnetic refrigeration (MR) understanding and optimization. A numerical DOE is applied to a simple 1D finite difference model describing an Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigeration (AMRR) system. The heat transfer fluid is water, the regenerator consists of stacked gadolinium plates and the model is base...
