Thermoeconomic analysis of a plastic parts production facility

In this study, a research was conducted on the thermoeconomic analysis of a plastic parts production facility. Here, many cost and energy elements such as the amount of waste heat energy, consumed electricity and other energies and costs, as well as labor costs, depreciation, taxes, rent, investment current expenses and loan interest, which are the parameters that play a role in the thermoeconomic performance of the plastic parts production facility, have been investigated and these Information was provided about the It has been found that the most suitable thermoeconomic solution for winter heating and summer cooling of the plastic parts production facility is a vertical underground source heat pump and the most high-performance working fluid that should be used is R32. Currently, the heating and cooling systems in the facility are powered by electrical energy. If the heating is done with a ground source heat pump, 4.25 kW of heating energy will be obtained for each kW of electrical energy given for heating, since the costs are COPIP 4.25. Here the earnings increase by around 325%. In other words, heating costs decrease by around 77.5 percent, that is, from one hundred liras to 23.5 liras. Keywords: Energy, thermoeconomy, exergetic cost
