Question
1- A refrigerator is to serve a cooling load of 16 tons. The machine condenser is air cooled
and the heat rejection ratio is 1.244. The condenser has an air-side area of 210 m and the
overall coefficient of heat transfer based on this area is 37W/m2k. The condenser has a face
area of 2.2 m and the face velocity of air is 3 m/s. Density of ambient air is 1.15 kg/m. If
the condensing temperature is to be limited to 55°C, what is the maximum allowable
ambient temperature ?
