Process Optimization Of Propylene Absorption Refrigeration Package

Abstract

Refrigeration is defined as a process of removing heat from a low-temperature reservoir and transferring it to a high-temperature reservoir. Usually, this is industrially achieved using vapor compression refrigeration cycles or absorption refrigeration cycles. In this study, seven different scenarios for absorption refrigeration cycles were studied using propylene as a refrigeration and toluene as a solvent: 1- Single absorption, single distillation 2- Single absorption, single distillation with solution split 3- Double distillation effect with two heat-exchangers before the first distillation stage 4- Double distillation effect with one heat exchanger before the second distillation stage 5- Single absorption, double distillation effect with solution split 6- Double absorption, single distillation effect 7- Double absorption, double distillation effect
