Question

What is the coefficient of performance to 1 decimal place?

(a) In a refrigerating plant using R12 the vapour leaves the evaporator dry saturated
at 1.826 bar and is compressed to 7.449 bar. The temperature of the vapour leaving the
compressor is 45°C. The liquid leaves the condenser at 25°C and is throttled to the
evaporator pressure. Calculate:
(i) the refrigerating effect;
(ii) the specific work input;
(iii) the COPrer.
(b) Compare the results found in (a) with a plant using R134a between the same
saturation temperatures, with the same maximum cycle temperature and the same degree
of undercooling of the condensate.
