Energy aspects in the design of air coolers for indirect refrigeration systems.

Author(s) : INFANTE FERREIRA C.

Summary

A model for the performance prediction and optimization of air coolers for indirect refrigeration systems is presented. The model applies for finned-tube air coolers operating under frosting conditions and considers the transient heat and mass transfer between humid air and air cooler surfaces. The model is extended with an energy consumption analysis for the compression refrigeration system. Further, the properties of several indirect coolants are added to the model so that a comparison of the performance of different coolants is possible. A parameter analysis including both price/performance and energy costs considerations is presented.
