Dynamic simulation of multi-compressor supermarket refrigeration systems.

Summary

Modern supermarket refrigeration systems consist of multi-compressor refrigeration packs in which the compressors are arranged in parallel and cycle on and off to satisfy the load. The paper considers the control of such systems and reports on results of investigations carried out on a multi-compressor pack in a supermarket in the United Kingdom. A model of multi-compressor refrigeration systems has been developed. The usefulness of the model is illustrated by investigating the effect of head (condensing) pressure control on the performance of the system. It is shown that variable head (condensing) pressure control can lead to substantial energy saving over fixed head pressure control.
