Abstract
The authors make a comparative study between an existing R407C indirect refrigeration system which serves an ice rink refrigeration plant with a modern R744 indirect refrigeration system incorporating heat recovery, by using “Pack Calculation Pro” software. The proposed solution involves no alterations in the water-ethylene glycol circuit that ensures the rink’s cooling load. By considering the need for retrofitting to comply with current legislation, the study aims to identify the best solution in terms of environmental impact and the CO2-equivalent release into the atmosphere. The recovered energy can be further used for space heating, ventilation, and domestic hot water preparation. This study is targeted on an existing ice rink placed in Iasi, Romania, and the analysis demonstrates that the implementation of this solution reduces the environmental impact of CO2-equivalent reduction, and the global COP (Coefficient of Performance) value increases.
