A refrigeration system like the one shown in the figure, in cascade uses R-22 refrigerant in the low temperature part of the system (B) and 134a refrigerant in the high temperature circuit (A). The R-22 refrigerant circuit operates between 1.1 and 5 bar. The enthalpies of the saturated vapor that leaves the evaporator at -39 ºC, of the superheated vapor that leaves the isentropic compressor at 29 ºC, and of the liquid that enters the throttling device at 0 ºC are 267.37; 304.16 and 78.47 respectively. The ideal cycle of the refrigerant circuit 134a operates between -12 ° C and 9 bar. The cooling capacity of the low temperature evaporator is 5 Ton. Determine: a) the mass flows, in Kg / hr, in the two circuits. b) the input power in both compressors, in Kw, c) the COP of the cascade system.
