5. 내 용 :

Supermarket refrigeration systems are useful tools to the modern world in
preserving food quality and prolonging its life. However, supermarkets consume
significant amount of energy and improved energy efficiency of these systems is
crucial for reasons of cost effectiveness and reduced impact on the environment.
Of the total energy consumption in supermarket refrigeration systems, refrigerated
display cases and the air-conditioning system consume respectively 34% and 17% and
the rest of energy use (around 49%) attributes to water heating and lighting of
the establishment. The seminar will discuss the emerging energy efficient
technologies such as secondary loop and cascade refrigeration systems, their
global acceptance, the in-field performance data from some supermarkets, and the
development of simulation models leading to optimised futuristic designs. The
domain of the energy efficiency research at the University of Auckland will also
be discussed with specific emphasis on the changing University education system
and life in New Zealand.
