Analysis of air cycle and efficiency evaluation for a blast freezing tunnel plant.

Author(s) : LA ROCCA V., MORALE M., PANNO D.

Summary

Air refrigerating systems offer a suitable alternative to vapour-compression systems. Air can be used as the working fluid in gas compression cycles for refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump systems. The paper gives some results of theoretical investigation into improved air cycles for refrigeration systems and a comparison of their performances is made. The case study relates to a dual-purpose refrigerating plant. A blast freezing tunnel gives the coldest air stream and, in cascade, the air coming out of the tunnel is used in a channel network for feeding a lot of chilling cells. The case study analysed indicates that there is a real possibility to build plants which will be equipped with air inverse cycles.
