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.
