Design and construction of a cascade refrigeration plant for the energetic investigation of natural working fluid combinations.

Author(s) : STEIMLE F., FLACKE N., KLÖCKER K.

Summary

According to the new regulations concerning refrigerants and due to greenhouse effects of some substitutes, natural refrigerants can be used. The high pressure refrigerant carbon dioxide is used for the production of low temperatures by means of a cascade refrigeration plant. For the high temperature circuit of the cascade the refrigerant propane is applied. Alternatively for refrigeration at temperatures lower than -55 °C the cascade is examined with the working fluid combination propane/ethane. The investigations are to show that in spite of the higher technical effort of a cascade refrigeration plant, an environmentally friendly and acceptable from an energetic viewpoint solution is possible.
