Simulation and Optimization of Propylene Refrigeration System in Low Temperature Ethylene Tank Area
This paper analyzes,compares and simulates three different propylene compression refrigeration processes.On the basis of the same refrigerant cooling capacity and specifications,it is calculated that the two-stage propylene compression refrigeration process with a flash economizer has the lowest energy consumption and the most economical plant investment.The impact of make-up air pressure on the performance and investment of the entire refrigeration system is analyzed,and the curve graphs of the total refrigerant cycle,make-up air amount,compressor power in each section,condenser heat load after condensation,and the working performance parameter COP(Coefficient of Performance)of the refrigeration system with changes in make-up air pressure are obtained.Based on the two-stage propylene compression refrigeration process with a flash economizer adopted in this paper,the optimal make-up air pressure is 0.65MPag.Under this make-up air pressure,the thermodynamic efficiency is the highest,the energy consumption is the lowest,the fixed investment is the least,and the economic benefit is the best
