Making refrigeration systems more efficient whilst adapting to rising temperatures.

Number: 1170

Author(s) : COTTER D., FOSTER A., EVANS J.

Summary

Over the years typical refrigeration system design temperatures have risen from 28°C to 35°C. It is expected that peak temperatures in the future will regularly exceed 40°C. New refrigeration systems will need to be designed for the expected peak temperatures. Whilst refrigeration system energy efficiency may decrease at times at peak temperatures, there is a great opportunity to use the peak temperature designs to improve energy efficiency all year round. Forward thinking designers must navigate through issues of rising temperatures and the goal to achieve Net Zero by 2050. The aim of this paper is to focus on the design of new refrigeration equipment that will be in operation for decades to come. It will consider how improving the overall refrigeration system energy efficiency may help offset the rising peak temperatures.
