A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°C by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.35 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 50°C and leaves at the same pressure subcooled by 5°C. The compressor consumes 3.3 kW of power. Use data from the tables.
