Question

An ammonia ice plant operates on simple saturation cycle at the following temperatures.

Condensing temperature 40°C

Evaporating temperature -15°C

It produces 10 tons of ice per day at -5°C from water at 30°C.

 Determine:

(a) Capacity of the refrigeration plant.

(b) Mass flow rate of refrigerant.

(c) Isentropic discharge temperature.

(d) Compressor dimensions (bore and stroke) if its volumetric efficiency is assumed as 65%. The compressor is to run at 1400 rpm. Take stroke/ bore ratio (L/D) as 1.2.

(e) Horsepower of the compressor if its adiabatic efficiency is taken as 85% and mechanical efficiency as 95%.

(f) Theoretical and actual COP.
