Abstract

Abstract: Cascade refrigeration system (CRS) can meet a wider range of refrigeration temperature requirements and is more energy efficient than single-refrigerant refrigeration system, making it more widely used in low-temperature industry processes. The synthesis of a CRS with simultaneous consideration of heat integration between refrigerant and process streams is challenging but promising for significant cost saving and reduction of carbon emission. This study presented a stochastic optimization method for the synthesis of CRS. An MINLP model was formulated based on the superstructure developed for the CRS, and an optimization framework was proposed, where simulated annealing algorithm was used to evolve the numbers of pressure/temperature levels for all sub-refrigeration systems, and particle swarm optimization algorithm was employed to optimize the continuous variables. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology was verified by a case study of CRS optimization in an ethylene plant with 21.89% the total annual cost saving.
