A model-driven design and optimization methodology for sizing the components of refrigeration cassettes for light commercial applications (i.e., cooling capacities ranging from 0.5 to 1.5kW) is presented. Mathematical models were devised for each of the system components and their numerical...

In this study a novel design methodology for household refrigeration systems focused on both energy savings and cost reduction is presented and evaluated. Mathematical models were put forward for each of the system components and used to simulate the energy performance of the entire...
