2. A cascade refrigeration system using R - 22 in the low - temperature circuit and ammonia (R-717) in the high temperature circuit has a load of 150 kW. The low - temperature circuit operates at an evaporating temperature of -50°C and a condensing pressure of 500 kPa. Refrigerant leaves the low-temperature evaporator as saturated vapor and enters the suction of the low- temperature compressor at - 45°C. Liquid refrigerant exits the condenser at 02°С. The high temperature circuit - operates at an evaporating temperature of -10°C and a condensing pressure of 1200 kPa. The refrigerant exits both evaporator and condenser at saturated conditions. Calculate the power input to the high temperature circuit - compressor, kW.

2. A cascade refrigeration
system using R - 22 in the low
- temperature circuit and
ammonia (R-717) in the high
- temperature circuit has a
load of 150 kW. The low -
temperature circuit operates
at an evaporating
temperature of -50°C and a
condensing pressure of 500
kPa. Refrigerant leaves the
low temperature evaporator
as saturated vapor and enters
the suction of the low -
temperature compressor at -
45°C. Liquid refrigerant exits
the condenser at 02°C. The
high temperature circuit
-
operates at an evaporating
temperature of -10°C and a
condensing pressure of 1200
kPa. The refrigerant exits both
evaporator and condenser at
saturated conditions.
Calculate the power input to
