Field experiences in three supermarkets in Sweden.

Author(s) : ARIAS J., LUNDQVIST P.

Summary

The replacement of CFC and HCFC refrigerants and the effective use of energy have influenced the refrigeration systems in supermarkets. New solutions with energy efficient equipment and completely indirect refrigeration systems have been developed to decrease the energy use and to minimise the refrigerant charge. A computer program that calculates the energy use in a supermarket with different innovative solutions can be a good tool when designing a refrigeration system. The computer model must be able to deal with technical solutions, investment economics and environmental impact for supermarket refrigeration systems. To validate the computer program it is necessary to compare the numerical results with field experience. Measurements of different parameters such as temperatures, relative humidity and compressor power started in three supermarkets last year and the results from these measurements are presented in the paper.
