Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to describe a general methodology suitable for analysing any intermediate configuration considered in staged vapour compression refrigeration cycles. This general methodology only depends on two basic parameters related to the subcooling and desuperheating obtained in the inter-stage system. A COP expression based on the two basic parameters was obtained from the general configuration. By means of its particularization to seven common configurations, it was then possible to make an energy comparison of the various configurations working with two fluids appropriated for the low temperature domain such as ammonia and R-404A.
