Technical Committee: 10.5 Refrigerated Processing and Storage
Sponsor: Refrigeration Committee
CoSponsor: 10.1 Custom Engineered Refrigeration Systems
Each refrigerated facility is unique. Due to this, design guidance and system level optimization is rare and difficult especially in the developing world. This ASHRAE research project, co-funded by UNEP and IIAR, has developed a design guide to aid designers, contractors and operators of refrigerated facilities and industrial and commercial refrigeration systems along with the teachers, utilities and policy makers that assist them. This seminar previews the contents and use of this upcoming ASHRAE Special Publication.
1 Refrigeration Systems for Refrigerated Facilities: The Current Landscape
This presentation provides a brief overview of the current landscape of refrigeration systems and technologies associated with refrigerated facilities (energy use, water use, refrigerant selection & externalities of direct and indirect effects of refrigerant emissions, sustainability considerations, etc.). In addition, it articulates the need to gather the best practices and technical information related to refrigeration technologies, design and operating practices for refrigerated facilities.
2 Overview of ASHRAE Design Guide for Refrigerated Facilities
This presentation provides an overview of ASHRAE's newest design guide. It not only discusses the goals and objectives of the design guide but it also identifies the guide's audience. The presentation also provides an inside look at the guidebook contents.
3 Applying the ASHRAE Design Guide for Refrigerated Facilities
This presentation discusses the guidebook's refrigeration system design example by going through a sample calculation.
