Multi-objective optimization of a cooling tower assisted vapour compression refrigeration system.
Author(s) : SAYYAADI H., NEJATOLAHI M.
Type of article: Article, IJR article
Summary
A cooling tower assisted vapour compression refrigeration machine has been considered for optimization with multiple criteria. Two objective functions including the total exergy destruction of the system (as a thermodynamic criterion) and the total product cost of the system (as an economic criterion), have been considered simultaneously. A thermodynamic model based on energy and exergy analyses and an economic model according to the total revenue requirement (TRR) method have been developed. Three optimized systems including a single-objective thermodynamic optimized, a single-objective economic optimized and a multi-objective optimized are obtained. In the case of multi-objective optimization, an example of decision-making process for selection of the final solution from the Pareto frontier has been presented. The exergetic and economic results obtained for three optimized systems have been compared and discussed. The results have shown that the multi-objective design more acceptably satisfies generalized engineering criteria than other two single-objective optimized designs.
