A cascade refrigeration system uses R22 in the low temp unit and R12 in the high temp unit. The system develops 28 kW of refrigeration at -45°C. The R12 system operates at -12°C evaporating temp and 40°C condensing temp. There is a 10° overlap of temperatures in the cascade condenser. Calculate the power required by R22 compressor, and the power required R12 compressor.
