cold cold Process running by itself Process needing driving power Mankind had an intellectual difficulty with the production of refrigeration: We could not learn it from nature. The problem: One has to add energy to remove energy. Cryogenic Engineering, CERN, March 2004
cold cold Where should the outside power be applied Solution: One needs an additional sytem: The refrigerator Cryogenic Engineering, CERN, March 2004

How to evaluate efficiency and to identify losses • When discussing expanders, we shortly talked about reversibility • In power engineering there is always a best method to do something, i. e. no unnecessary losses = reversibility • Losses can be idebtified by the deviation from reversibility • Comparison is the input power • We have to give refrigeration a value in the scale of the input power • Carnot ratio Cryogenic Engineering, CERN, March 2004
The definition of exergy • Minimum amount of work to produce refrigeration • Exergy= Mimimum Power= Q*(Ta-T0)/T0 • Minimum amount of power to change the state of a fluid from an initial state 1 to a final state 2: • e2-e1 = h2-h1 + Ta*(s2-s1) Cryogenic Engineering, CERN, March 2004
