-
An exergetic analysis of an experimental refrigeration system using R134a was performed to identify and quantify the exergetic losses.
-
The research is based on analyzing the influence of six operational and controllable parameters of the experimental setup.
-
The major exergy destruction rate is located at condenser followed by the compressor.
-
The contribution of the compressor to the overall irreversibility is the most relevant.
-
A maximization of exergetic efficiency is implemented to determine the best combination of controllable parameters.
