This paper presents a review on energy and exergy analysis of two-stage vapour compression refrigeration (VCR) system. The use of alternative refrigerants instead of conventional refrigerants has also been addressed. The governing equations for the energetic and exergetic analysis of two-stage VCR system have been identified and presented. Several experimental and numerical investigations and their findings on the performance of the two-stage VCR system available in the literature have been discussed in brief. Some of the results have also been reproduced as case studies.

The exergy method, based on the maximum exergetic efficiency criterion, is applied to a two-stage irreversible combined refrigeration system. The exergetic efficiency defined as the ratio of rate of exergy output to rate of exergy input is taken as the objective index to be maximized. The related cycle temperature parameters are first solved. The maximum exergetic efficiency is then obtained analytically. Comparisons between the exergetic efficiency and the coefficient of performance of the combined refrigeration system are performed. The influences of various parameters on the system performances are discussed. It shows that the exergy method is practical and effective when operating or designing the combined refrigeration system.
