. A cascade refrigeration system is designed to supply 9 tons of refrigeration at an evaporator temperature of -55OC and a condenser temperature of 20OC. The load at -55OC is absorbed by a unit using R-22 as the refrigerant and is rejected to a condenser at -15OC. The cascade condenser is cooled by a unit using R-12 as the refrigerant and operating between -25OC and 20OC condenser temperature.
