Cold and hot simulation of industrial and commercial energy storage fluid

Can computer simulations predict energy performance of cold chambers?

Table 1 shows some of those measures and their advantages [3, 4]. Computer simulations used to predict energy performance of cold chambers when new efficiency measures are applied have gained a growing popularity in experimental tests, because they are faster and may even provide results with an acceptable accuracy.

Can computer models be used to simulate cold chambers based on vapor-compression?

In spite of the wide range of existing computer models to simulate cold chambers based on vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, up until now a few of them may be used as a simplified tool to help in the selection of most appropriate energy efficiency measures and their corresponding advantages.

How is energy consumption simulated?

In this work, the simulation of energy consumption is structured in three stages: collection of data from the test chamber, insertion of data into a spreadsheet, and generation of output parameters—namely values for each thermal load and energy consumption of compressor. This process is illustrated in Fig. 4.

What is computational fluid dynamics (CFD)?

Currently the stakes are centered in the optimization of internal air distribution systems by employing a technology called computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Are there mathematical models for energy performance in refrigeration technologies?

Some recent in refrigeration technologies (like Peltier’s and thermoacoustic’s effect), although they are not widely known because of high initial costs, lower the values of COP and premature state of development; some mathematic models are available for them to evaluate energy performance.

How is cold generated in the horticultural industry?

Cold generated in the horticultural industry is frequently obtained by a system which works by applying a compression cycle of a refrigerant fluid; this methodology has provided until the present time a good price/efficiency ratio.
