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...

abstract: minimizing the work consumed in refrigeration system is the most effective measure to reduce the cost of products in sub-ambient chemical processes. the introduction of mixed working fluids into refrigeration system in place of pure working fluids is a recent advancement applied in the field. due to the lack of systematic design method for mixed refrigerant cycle (mrc), conventional a...

The dual mixed refrigerant (DMR) cycle, which pre-cools natural gas with the mixed refrigerants and then liquefies the natural gas with another set of mixed refrigerants, is well known for having the highest efficiency among the liquefaction cycles. Its possible application to LNG FPSO is also extensively investigated. In this study, the optimal operating conditions, such as the equipment’s flo...

A household refrigerator designed to work with R-134a was used as an investigation unit to assess the prospect of using mixed refrigerants. The recital of the refrigerator using mixed refrigerant was investigated and compared with the performance of refrigerator when R-134a was used as refrigerant. The effect of condenser temperature and evaporator temperature on COP, refrigerating effect was i...

four kinds of refrigerant mixtures R22/Rl34a, R22/Rl52a, R22/Rl42b and R22/Rl23, which contain some new halocarbons which are considered to be the alternatives for CFCs, were evaluated in order to realize higher condensing temperature than that using R22 at high temperature operation, and larger heating capacity than that using R22/Rll4 at normal temperature operation. These mixtures were appli...

The selection of proper refrigerants for natural gas liquefaction processes play a key role in cycle?s efficiency. Mixed have been proven to improve exergy efficiency over single pure refrigerant. However, the future some these with higher global warming potential index are unknown due continuous restriction being enforced by energy and environmental agencies past few decades. This study examin...

While the mass of refrigerant contained in a vapor compression cycle has a significant effect on the cycle’s power consumption, conventional cycle architectures cannot optimize energy efficiency by varying the mass as ambient conditions and operational requirements change. This paper proposes a new system architecture that allows the refrigerant mass circulating in the system to be modulated ov...
