Resumo: Aspects in relationship to the maximization of energy efficiency in industrial installation is a topic of high importance, due to actually exists onerous tariffs of electric energy and any reduction of consumption of this, result in great improvements not just for the industry, but also to the energetic matrix of the country, since large refrigeration units have a high electrical energy consumption. Moreover, with this improvements, in some cases, can be possible achieve through changes in operations conditions, reduction in the consumption of electrical energy. Thereby, this study has the objective to point action to improve the energy efficiency of a refrigeration system that uses NH3 of a refrigerated warehouse, through the use o mathematical modeling and computational simulation of the system in analyze,  utilizing the software EES (Engineering Equation Solver) as a tool to mathematical modeling and do the computational simulations. Furthermore, the electrical motors of the evaporators and condensers are drive with VSDs (variable speed drives). Thus, were evaluated different conditions of regime temperature operation and values of frequency of the VSDs, with aim of obtain the smallest electrical energy consumption, in order to meet the specific conditions of running of the installation. It was identified that the refrigeration system has some water contamination that also impact the consumption of electrical energy. This study demonstrated that without realize none structural modification the refrigeration system, is possible reduce in 9,3% the consumption of electric energy.

Com isso, estas melhorias podem, em alguns casos, ser obtidas apenas através de modificações de condições operacionais da planta, que visam reduzir os desperdícios. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo apontar ações para melhoria da eficiência energética do sistema de refrigeração por NH3 de um armazém frigorífico, através do uso de modelagem matemática e simulações computacionais da planta frigorífica, utilizando o software EES (Engineering Equation Solver) como ferramenta para a modelagem matemática da planta frigorífica e realização das simulações computacionais. Além disso, o sistema de refrigeração possui motores elétricos tanto dos evaporadores como dos condensadores, acionados por inversores de frequência VSDs (Variable Speed Drive). Dessa forma, foram avaliadas diferentes condições de regime de temperaturas de operação e de valores de frequência dos VSDs, com objetivo de obter o menor consumo de energia elétrica, de modo a atender a uma condição específica de funcionamento da instalação industrial. Além disso, foi identificado que o sistema de refrigeração possui contaminação por água, que impacta no consumo de energia elétrica. O estudo realizado demonstrou que sem realizar nenhuma modificação estrutural na planta frigorífica, é possível reduzir em 9,3% o consumo de energia elétrica.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Integridade de Materiais da Engenharia2019-01-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripe/article/view/1924410.26512/ripe.v5i1.19244Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2019): Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia - RIPE; 49-57Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia; v. 5 n. 1 (2019): Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia - RIPE; 49-572447-610210.26512/ripe.v5i1reponame:Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenhariainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripe/article/view/19244/20195Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenhariainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJr, Ivoni CAguiar, Danilo Barreto deGermano, Sandro2019-06-19T18:30:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/19244Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripePUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripe/oaianflor@unb.br2447-61022447-6102opendoar:2019-06-19T18:30:27Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
