Appropriate level of model complexity in dynamic simulation of refrigeration systems.

Author(s) : CLELAND D. J., CLELAND A. C.

Summary

The authors point out that the complexity of a mathematical model to simulate operation of a refrigeration plant must depend on the accuracy required, i.e., whether it is to be used for observation, control, or design improvements. Three situations are used for illustration, a carton tunnel freezer, a small cold room, and a large cold store. In each case, the modelling of room air temperature is considered. Factors such as non-availability of accurate heat transfer knowledge, random product stacking, and unknown door opening patterns may have greater effects than approximations in air flow behaviour.
