Application of modelling approaches of twin-screw compressors: thermodynamic investigation and reduced-order model identification

Refrigeration is an essential part of the food chain. It is used in all stages of the chain, from industrial food processing to final consumption at home. In these processes, mechanical refrigeration technologies are employed, where compressors increase gas pressure from evaporation to condensation....

description Refrigeration is an essential part of the food chain. It is used in all stages of the chain, from industrial food processing to final consumption at home.
