Abstract

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is first used to forecast the best operating parameters for a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) refrigeration system. LPG has been employed as a refrigerant to minimize the global warming problem. An experimental setup has been made up of an evaporator (cooling box), gas burner, LPG supply unit, capillary tube length, and a pressure regulator. The running time (top), coil diameter (D), and inner diameter (di) of the capillary tube are considered as operating parameters to examine their influences on the evaporated temperature (TE) by full factorial design. The best mathematical equation for TE has been developed by regression analysis. The best values of process parameters (top = 50 min, D = 190 mm, and di = 0.8 mm) for the maximum evaporating temperature (TE = 11.9 °C) have been estimated by ABC MATLAB code.
