abstract = "Refrigeration systems are of great importance in industry and
are widely used in food preservation or air conditioning.
Studies have been carried out in recent years in search of
parameters to optimise the cycle by reducing losses, both to
increase the COP and to reduce energy consumption, so that
process improvements have been made from which different
cycles are derived, such as the gas cooling cycle with
regeneration, absorption cooling, gas liquefaction or multistage compression cooling systems. This document presents a
combined refrigeration system consisting of two vapour
compression refrigeration cycles linked by a heat exchanger
that not only reduces the work of the compressor but also
increases the amount of heat absorbed by the refrigerated
space as a result of the cascade stages and improves the COP
of a refrigeration system. The study was carried out under the
assumption of a stationary flow, and without significant
changes in the kinetic and potential energy, i.e. assuming an
ideal process, carrying out several case studies with the help
of UNISIM, evaluating the effect of varying the low
temperature on the exergetic efficiency, the destroyed exergy
of the condenser, the net input work and the COP, as well as
the influence of the input pressure in the upper cycle
compressor on the net input work and the COP.",
