This study analyzes the internal irreversibility of a realistic refrigeration plant under the design constraint of a fixed total thermal conductance. The internal heat losses are determined using a heat by-pass model. The optimal thermal conductance allocation and optimal coefficient of performance are derived from a series of detailed analyses and formulations. The numerical results indicate that the optimal thermal conductance ratio of the hot end of a realistic refrigeration plant is slightly higher than 0.5.
