Simulation of the energy saver refrigeration system

Conference · · Adv. Cryog. Eng.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6308917
An interactive, software simulator is described as has been developed to calculate the refrigeration available from the energy saver refrigeration system, Fermilab Energy Saver. The refrigeration system simulator incorporates models of the components which have been developed to quantitaviley describe changes in system performance. The simulator output is presented in a real-time display which has been used to search for the optimal operating conditions of the Satellite-Central system, to examine the effect of an extended range of operating parameters and to identify equipment modifications which would improve the system performance. The method for simulation calculations is described. The computer simulation programs are given, with a sample display illustrated. The comparison with central liquefier data is presented. The results for the satellite refrigerator are shown with apposite charts. Some applications of simulation are outlined.
