Abstract

Cryopreservation in the temperature range from −120 °C to −60 °C is an important way to achieve high-quality food storage. In this paper, an in-depth quantitative thermodynamic comparison of two-stage cascade cycle, Linde-Hampson cycle and reverse Brayton cycle was carried out in the temperature range from −120 °C to −60 °C. Aspen HYSYS was used to invoke advanced genetic algorithm in MATLAB to optimize the system parameters. The two-stage cascade system performs best at the evaporation temperatures above −80 °C, achieving a COP of 0.97 at −60 °C. The Linder-Hampson system performs best when the evaporation temperature is below −90 °C, achieving a COP of 0.35 at −120 °C. In order to further explore the impact of environmental change on the system performance, five typical cities in China were selected to analyze the seasonal performances of the three systems. The seasonal analysis demonstrated that Harbin has the highest latitude and its seasonal energy efficiency ratio is significantly higher than other cities, the performance of the two-stage cascade system fluctuates more obvious within 24-h. What's more, the Linder-Hampson system has the lowest annual investment cost and annual operating cost at the evaporation temperature lower than −90 °C, as well as the lowest emissions of CO2 and SO2.
