Abstract
This work aims to develop a mathematical model for the synthesis of refrigeration systems with continuous
temperature based on a superstructure. The newly proposed model includes all possible configurations of a
compression refrigeration system under all conditions. By setting relevant constraints up for each part of the
superstructure, the design problem of compression refrigeration system is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear
program that can be solved for optimal configuration and operating conditions.
In this work, two objective functions are considered which involve the minimization of compressor work and total
annual cost. With given cooling load and desired temperature, the optimal configuration and operating condition
are determined and compared with previous works. Through case studies (or examples), it is shown that the optimal
design of compression refrigeration system can be obtained with the proposed model.
