Thermodynamic analysis of a R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system compared with a R404A two-stage system.
Number: pap. ID: 110
Author(s) : MESSINEO A., PANNO G.
Summary
In this study is presented a thermodynamic analysis of a cascade refrigeration system using as refrigerant carbon dioxide in low-temperature circuit and ammonia in high-temperature circuit. The operating parameters considered in this paper include condensing, evaporating, superheating and subcooling temperatures in the ammonia (R717) high-temperature circuit and in the carbon dioxide (R744) lowtemperature circuit. Diagrams of COP versus operating parameters have been obtained. In addition, values for R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system are compared with the values obtained for a partial injection two-stage refrigeration system using the synthetic refrigerant R404A, a nearly azeotropic blend, specially used for commercial refrigeration. Results show that a carbon dioxide-ammonia cascade refrigeration system is an interesting alternative to R404A two-stage refrigeration system for low evaporating temperatures (–30 °C ÷ –50°C) in commercial refrigeration for energy, security and environmental reasons.
