The capacity of a refrigeration plant is 60 kW and its design parameters are: -Evaporation temperature: Tev = -40 °C, with DT_evaporator = 8 °C. -Condensing temperature Tcd = 35 °C. -The condenser is cooled by water, which enters at 27°C and leaves at 30°C. The subcooling ∆T it is 5°C. The refrigerant used is R717. - The ∆T of superheating is 5 °C at the outlet of the evaporator and 15 °C in the pipe of aspiration. The pressure loss in the suction pipe is 1°C while the loss of pressure in the pipe on the evaporation coil is 6°C. It is requested: a) Show the scheme of principle suitable for the indicated conditions and draw t he cycle diagram. B) Calculate the theoretical power of the compressor in kW C) Determine the COP and the efficiency of the system.

The capacity of a refrigeration plant is 60 kW and its design parameters are:

-Evaporation temperature: Tev = -40 °C, with DT_evaporator = 8 °C. -Condensing temperature Tcd = 35 °C.

-The condenser is cooled by water, which enters at 27°C and leaves at 30°C. The subcooling ∆T it is 5°C. The refrigerant used is R717.

- The ∆T of superheating is 5 °C at the outlet of the evaporator and 15 °C in the pipe of aspiration. The pressure loss in the suction pipe is 1°C while the loss of pressure in the pipe on the evaporation coil is 6°C. It is requested:

a) Show the scheme of principle suitable for the indicated conditions and draw t he cycle diagram.

B) Calculate the theoretical power of the compressor in kW

C) Determine the COP and the efficiency of the system.
