Abstract
This paper provides a literature review of the cascade refrigeration system (CRS). It is an important system that can achieve an evaporating temperature as low as −170 °C and broadens the refrigeration temperature range of conventional systems. In this paper, several research options such as various designs of CRS, studies on refrigerants, and optimization works on the systems are discussed. Moreover, the influence of parameters on system performance, the economic analysis, and applications are defined, followed by conclusions and suggestions for future studies.
Highlights
Refrigeration technology plays an important role in human production and life; it is widely used in daily lives, commerce, and industrial production
The results show that coefficient of performance (COP) of this new cascade system was 25% higher than that of stage compression refrigeration system (STCRS)
Keshtkar [54] presented thermoeconomic optimization of cascade refrigeration system (CCRS) operating with R717/R744 pairs; one multi-objective optimization strategy (MOS) was used in CCRS, which can achieve the best balance between thermodynamic efficiency and economic cost
