On the thermo economical optimization of single stage refrigeration systems
In this work, a thermo economic optimization analysis is presented yielding a simple algebraic formula for estimating the optimum operating temperature for refrigeration systems, which utilizes energy recovery applications. The method used is known as the P-1-P-2 method, used with the usage factor and simplified wall gain load factors'. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
