Barriers to energy conservation in industrial refrigeration.

Type of article: Article

Summary

In industrial refrigeration systems, one of the general guidelines for reducing energy use is to "float" discharge pressure. Benefits provided by floating discharge pressure can be summed up as a reduction in energy input required by the compressor motor(s). Another general guideline is to operate suction pressure as high as possible while still maintaining the required temperatures. Generally, there is not much discussion on the limiting factors involved. This article addresses basic requirements for the floating of discharge pressure and factors that affect it.
