Inherently safety design of an advanced geothermal-driven triple cooling system: 4E and safety-based optimization framework
Supplying fuel to energy systems using renewable sources is a fundamental strategy for sustainable development and optimal utilization of energy resources. This study presents an innovative three-level cooling system meeting the freezing, cooling, and air conditioning demands in small-to-medium industrial applications using geothermal energy. The proposed Triple Evaporator Cooling System (TECS) employs a three-evaporator/single-ejector configuration to improve conventional ejector refrigeration. TECS demonstrates robust applicability in multi-temperature cold chain industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and hospitality. System optimization utilizes a multi-objective genetic algorithm with integrated 4E (energy, exergy, economic, and environmental) evaluation and inherent safety analysis. Isobutane is selected as the working fluid for its superior thermodynamic performance and minimal environmental impact. Base case results show that the air conditioning, cooling, and freezing loads are reported as 44.07 kW, 25.23 kW and 35.5 kW, respectively. Furthermore, the coefficient of performance, exergy efficiency, unit cost product ratio (UCPR), unit environmental product ratio (UEPR), and total risk are 0.502 (dimensionless), 16.81 %, 66.44 $/GJ, 1042 million points per gigajoule, and 1088 $/year, respectively. The comprehensive multi-objective optimization yields significant improvements in all metrics. Furthermore, a parametric study demonstrates the impact of influential parameters on the system’s performance indicators. The results indicate that with increasing temperature of the geothermal fluid entering the generator, the system’s coefficient of performance remains constant, while the total cycle exergy efficiency decreases, the system’s product cost increases, and the environmental cost of the product decrease.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
