In this work, an evaluation of the energy in a start-stop process is made by analyzing the generated irreversibilities in a refrigeration system by mechanical vapor compression with R-134a refrigerant at a flow of 1.0 L / s. This system is installed in the LABINTHAP of the SEPI-ESIME-IPN. For this analysis, there is software that captures data on the pressures and temperatures from the refrigerant at the inlet and outlet of the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve at oneminute intervals. For the analysis of the generated irreversibilities, the first and second laws of thermodynamics were used. And, in the process evaluation of stopping and starting, it was shown that the compressor sets a trend of higher energy consumption, so a process of regulation of the refrigeration system by mechanical compression of steam is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
