In this study, ammonia (NH3) and R404a gases were used as refrigerants because of their popular application in seafood processing plants. According to our observation, most of the two-stage refrigeration systems operated in batch mode with variable temperatures during their operation. Therefore, the theoretical adjustment of the $P_{M}$ was difficult to achieve during the operation. The actual $P_{M}$ of the two-stage refrigeration system depended not only on the operating temperature and the refrigerants in use but also on the ratio between the number of low-pressure and high-pressure compressors. As the ratio changed, the thermal balance of the intermediate tank changed followed by alteration of its temperature and pressure. The practical operating $P_{M}$ of the refrigeration systems was quite different from the calculated theoretical $P_{M}$, especially at the beginning and at the end of each operating cycle. The results showed that at standard operating conditions of the current refrigeration system with condenser temperature $(t_{R})$ at $4theta ^{o}C$, evaporator temperature $(t_{theta }) at-4theta ^{o}C$ and super-cooling temperature (delta T) at $1theta ^{o}C$, optimal intermediate pressures were 2.9 atm at $t_{M}$ (intermediate temperature) $=1theta ^{o}C$ and $6.theta 1$ atm at $t_{M} = theta ^{o}C$ for $NH_{3}$ and $R4theta 4a$ refrigerants, respectively. Reasonable ratios between high and low-pressure condensers of the two-stage refrigeration system with an internal heat exchanger intermediate tank were determined at 1:4 $(N= theta.2649)$ for $NH_{3}$ and 1:3 or 1:4 $(N= theta.2815)$ for $R4theta 4a$. The results presented in this paper may help to provide an important basis for the design and energy savings of the two-stage refrigeration systems.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117165048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
