Abstract

In this paper, parametric analysis and optimization of the transcritical ejector refrigeration cycle using different working fluids have been proposed which can be employed in the parts of solar energy processes. The main advantages of using ejector in the refrigeration cycles, which often use instead of the compressor, are simplicity in construction and maintenance, high reliability and low cost. In this study, the transcritical ejector refrigeration cycle is modelled using EES software and the effects of different parameters such as temperature and pressure of different parts of cycle on the coefficient of performance and entrainment ratio are investigated. In continued, the coefficient of performance of the transcritical ejector refrigeration cycle for four different working fluids is optimized using the combination the Artificial Neural Network and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm.
