Energy Efficiency in Industrial Refrigeration Systems
Abstrak
Energy efficiency in industrial refrigeration systems should be an object of study, especially large ones used for producing and storing food and beverage products. This is because this system requires large electricity consumption and, consequently, carries out environmental impacts. Some strategies and technologies can be used to increase the coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration units, such as intelligent operation through variable speed drives (VSDs) in pumps and fans, floating head pressure work, optimization of ice and chilled water production, intelligent controls in condensers and compressors, use of mathematical modeling and computer simulations, among others. Therefore, this work aims to highlight the impact of strategy and technology employment on energy efficiency improvements at industrial refrigeration systems by bringing studies of cases about refrigeration units used in food refrigeration of dairy, pork, and poultry products.
