A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at –30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and –34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 450 W from the surroundings. Determine the theoretical maximum refrigeration load for the same power input to the compressor. Water 26°C ↑ 18°C 1.2 MPа 42°C 65°C Condenser Expansion Win valve Evaporator Compressor 60 kPa -34°C
