Q.13 A vapour compression refrigeration system using refrigerant F-12 is employed to produce 8640 kg of ice per day. The condensing and evaporating temperature of refrigcrant are 48°C and-20°C respectively. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser and saturated vapour leaves the evaporator. Compression is isentropic, water at 35°C is used to form the ice. The temperature of ice should be-8°C. Heat flow into the brine tank from surroundings may be taken as 10% of total heat absorbed from water to form ice. Determine the power required to drive the compressor. Take specific heat of ice 2.26 kJ/kg-K. Latent heat of ice = 335 kJ/kg. Specific heat of water = 4.2 kJ/kg-K. The following data may be used: %3D Temp. Pressure Enthalpy Entropy °C bar kJ/lg kJ/kg-K Liquid Vapour Liquid Vapour 48°C 11.64 82.83 205.83 0.2973 0.6802 -20 1.51 17.82 178.74 0.0731 0.7087 Specific heat of vapour 0.82 kJ/kg %3D
2.3 A vapour compression refrigeration cycle operates between the condensation temperature of 20°C and evaporator temperature of –10°C with carbon dioxide as refrigerant. Temperature after isentropic compression is 40°C and condensate leaves at 10°C before being passed through expansion valve. Determine 2.3.1 COP of system and 2.3.2 mass flow rate of CO2 required to get refrigeration effect of 2 kW.
As shown below, a refrigeration cycle condenses a flow of ammonia from a saturated vapor at 4 barto a saturated liquid. The entering volumetric flow rate of the ammonia is 0.1 m3/s.
