Summary

In order to guide the operation of the actual cascade system, this paper takes the cascade system as the research object and compares the use of six refrigerant pairs. Unlike the previous single-objective optimization of refrigeration system carbon emissions and other indicators, this research uses a multi-objective optimization algorithm, that is, we consider the cascade system's exergy efficiency and carbon emissions at the same time. We reduce carbon emissions while improving the system's exergy efficiency, and finally find out the specific operating conditions under which the system can realize low-carbon and high-efficiency operation, which further promotes the process of achieving energy saving and emission reduction in factories. The optimization results show that among the six refrigerant pairs, the use of R744-R134a and R744-R290 refrigerant pairs can make the system operate better, but considering the high global warming potential (GWP) of R134a refrigerant, the use of R744-R290 combination is more recommended.
