Question

 A performance test of an ice plant gave the following data:

Capacity: 20 tons of ice/day Refrigerant: Ammonia

Condenser pressure: 1391.5 kPa Evaporator pressure: 208.26 kPa

Raw water temperature: 32OC Harvest temperature: -7OC

Block of ice: 300 lb/block

The compressor is twin-cylinder, single acting, D/L = 1.25, 450 rpm, mechanical efficiency

is 80%. Additional heat load due to infiltration and conduction is 20%. Determine:

a) Number of cans needed

b) Product cooling load

c) Refrigerating capacity in tons of refrigeration

d) Amount of refrigerant flow

e) Size of motor to drive the compressor

f) Bore diameter and length of stroke
