Abstract
Two level demand makes it possible to use two
systems for refrigeration and save energy and
money. An example of this type of refrigeration,
consisting of an ammonia absorption refrigeration
(AAR) unit and a mechanical compression refrigeration
(MCR) unit, is presented in this article.
This paper will briefly describe process configuration,
advantages and utility consumption, equipment
cost and direct field cost comparisons of
such a hybrid refrigeration unit over its counterpart,
a cascading MCR unit, in a Rectisol
application.
