Economic optimisation of refrigeration systems at the design phase.

Author(s) : PIETRZAK J.

Summary

During the design process of the refrigeration installation, the designer, in consultation with the investor, chooses between higher investment expenditure, allowing in the future for decrease in exploitation cost of the system, and cheaper solutions at the manufacturing phase but more expensive during operation. This kind of dilemma also occurs at the phase of system modernization. The final choice is made on the economic grounds. The choice and application of economic criteria in order to determine the purpose of incurring additional costs for changes in the designed or already working installation will be called economic optimisation. In this article the author presents potential areas being subject to economic optimisation. The areas of high risk in the refrigeration system must be analysed from the perspective of subsequent exploitation and service costs. Respective criteria that facilitate taking investment decision will be also formulated.
