Summary

The work proposes the TWRC thermodynamic method for increasing compression refrigeration cycles effectiveness. The method application is illustrated by schemes running with single, two-stage and multistage compression, for the air conditioning, normal and industrial refrigeration. According to the proposal, the compression refrigeration should stimulate the compressor operation with high temperature discharge gas and the conversion of its heat into work, rather than using an additional compression work for limiting the discharge gas temperature, as it is happening today in the two-and multi-stage refrigeration. The schemes operation have been modeled. The model results emphasize a reasonable feasibility of the single-stage, but the three-stage and especially the two-stage compression are the most feasible, enjoying a great potential in the refrigeration COP increase, and therefore in the primary energy savings and carbon footprint reduction (~50 to 100 percent and more).
