Q1.2 Consider a two-stage compression refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 0.8and0.14 MPa(see Fig. Q 2). The working fluid isrefrigerant -134a. The refrigerant leaves thecondenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to aflash chamberoperating at0.4 MPa. Part ofthe refrigerant evaporates during this flashing process, and this vapour is mixed with the refrigerantleaving the low-pressure compressor.
