A two stage cascade refrigeration system uses R-12 in the high pressure loop with a condenser temperature of 300C and -100C in the cascade condenser, and R-22 in the low pressure loop with a temperature in the cascade condenser of 00C and an evaporator temperature of -30 0C. The refrigeration load is 24 tons. Given : h6 = 368 kJ/kg;    h2= 420 kJ/kg Determine:  1) the mass flow rate in the low pressure loop in kg/s 2) mass flow rate in the high pressure loop, in kg/s 3) total power requirement in KW

Question

A two stage cascade refrigeration system uses R-12 in the high pressure loop with a condenser temperature of 300C and -100C in the cascade condenser, and R-22 in the low pressure loop with a temperature in the cascade condenser of 00C and an evaporator temperature of -30 0C. The refrigeration load is 24 tons. Given : h6 = 368 kJ/kg;    h2= 420 kJ/kg

Determine: 

1) the mass flow rate in the low pressure loop in kg/s

2) mass flow rate in the high pressure loop, in kg/s

3) total power requirement in KW
