During the initial project meeting with the client, they have shared their concerns about rising
energy costs and they want to explore possibility of waste heat recovery from the condenser of
the refrigeration system. This was followed by study of existing refrigeration system, and it has
been established that it is very old with very poor performance and cannot be modified. Hence,
it is recommended to replace it with a new more efficient refrigeration system with liquid cooled
condenser. This type of condenser will allow heat recovery for preheating the cold water before
it is supplied to gas fired water heater and steam generator.
Explain the proposed system modifications with help of a process flow diagram of the modified
refrigeration and waste heat recovery system showing each component and the connections
including cold storage, pasteurization and other fruit processing facility use figure as the
baseline to prepare your modified PFD Provide brief discussion about industrial waste heat
recovery technologies with advantages and disadvantages based on the published literature.
