Abstract

The paper builds up the model for exergy analysis of vapor compression refrigeration. According to the exergy analysis, it appears exergy loss degree of the main units in the system, and points out the way of reducing exergy loss and the approach utilizing energy rationally, and proceeds with exergy loss compare with aiming at that if condenser in surplus heat recycling. Conclusion is that adopting surplus heat recycling can reduce exergy loss. Furthermore, it analyzes exergy loss to a actual refrigeration aiming at temperature regulation, and provides the theory reference for improvement and optimization of the system.
