Energy optimization of refrigeration systems: the domestic refrigerator, a case study.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The derived relationship between the actual COP for a refrigerator and the COP for the corresponding Carnot process, where it appears that the process irreversibilities, either expressed as destruction of exergy or production of entropy, causes the difference from the ideal situation, is generally valid for other systems. Optimization parameters are identified. The conclusion, that a continuous control of the compressor will save energy compared to the situation with a traditional on/off control, is general valid. The smaller duty cycle in the on/off control the bigger is the saving potential.
