The heat generated in the reactor must be removed to maintain its temperature at an optimal range between 50 and 70 °C. To assess the cooling system exergetic and Thermoeconomic indicators were used and it was observed that: (i) The greatest exergetic efficiencies arise in compressors. (ii) The greatest destruction of exergy and reasons of destruction of exergy cost and lower exergoeconomic factors are presented in the evaporative condenser. (iii) The heat exchange equipment has highest relative cost differences. © 2018 ASME.Recurso electrónicoapplication/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject10.1115/IMECE2017-70171Cooling systemsEngineering researchEvaporative cooling systemsExergySteam condensersThermoelectric equipmentEvaporative condenserExergetic efficiencyExergoeconomicHeat exchangeProduction plantRelative costsThermo-economicThermoeconomic analysisCoolinginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 InternacionalUniversidad Tecnológica de BolívarRepositorio UTB56581610900565817275005720034108757190756815
