A Cascade refrigeration system using flash tank and intercooler is operating an evaporator with a capacity of 6 tons at a temperature of -30°C. The flash tank and intercooler is operated at 0.40 MPa. If the condensing temperature is 50°C, determine the COP and the refrigerating efficiency of the system. Draw the schematic diagram of the system and assume ideal conditions.
