Enhancement of supermarket freezers to reduce energy consumption and increase refrigeration capacity.

Summary

An auxiliary mixed refrigerant cycle for subcooling of a liquid refrigerant in the main cycle can provide up to 40% increase in the COP of a conventional vapour compression cycle. In addition, an increase in the cooling capacity of up to 100% can translate into a reduction in the size of the whole system by up to 30%. The relatively small size of the auxiliary unit makes it possible to use a packaged design compatible with mixed refrigerants.
