A simple vapor compression cycle develops 15 tons of refrigeration using ammonia as refrigerant and operating at condensing temperature of 24 C and evaporating temperature of -18C and assuming compression are isentropic and that the gas leaving the condenser is saturated, find the power per ton. Properties of Ammonia: h1=hf = 312.87 kJ/kg h2= 1665 kJ/kg At -18C hg = 1439.94 kJ/kg
Consider an ideal refrigeration cycle that has a condenser temperature at 45oC and an evaporator temperature of -15oC. Show the process in a T-S diagram. Determine the coefficient of performance of this refrigerator for refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. Repeat the calculation for ammonia.
A gas refrigeration system using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 5 (see Fig. Q 1). Air
enters the compressor at 0°C. The high-pressure air is cooled to 35°Cby rejecting heat to the sur-
roundings. The refrigerant leaves the turbine at –80°C and enters the refrigerated space where it
absorbs heat before entering the regenerator. The mass flow rate of air is 0.4 kg's . Assuming isen-
tropic efficiencies of 0.8 for the compressor and 0.85 for the turbine and variable specific heats.
Draw accurately the cycle on a T-s diagram with properly labelled property values. Determine
(a) the effectiveness of the regenerator,
(b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and
(c) the COP of the cycle. Also, determine
(d) the refrigeration load and the COP if this system operated on the simple gas refrigeration cycle.
Use the same compressor inlet temperature as given, the same turbine inlet temperature as calcu-
lated, and the same compressor and turbine efficiencies.…
