Comparative study and analysis of performance refrigeration system driven by different energy sources

Abstract

The present work concerns a study on mechanical compression refrigeration machines that based on the electric compressor, and absorption machine, were this work is focused on choosing natural gas as a direct source in the refrigeration space; this logic was present general thermodynamic calculations of the two machines. The results show that quite good values of the coefficient of performance of the new configuration of the absorption refrigeration machine and the study of the cost of each one, we can consider it encouraging for the development of this device, which promises to be an alternative one hand to eliminate the pressure in the electricity sector, and promises to be quite powerful economic and energy point of view and side environment.
