The operating temperatures of a single stage vapour absorption refrigeration system are: generator: 90°C; condenser and absorber: 40°C; evaporator: 0°C. The system has a refrigeration capacity of 100 kW and the heat input to the system is 160 kW. The solution pump work is negligible. a) Find the COP of the system and the total heat rejection rate from the system. b) An inventor claims that by improving the design of all the components of the system he could reduce the heat input to the system to 80 kW while keeping the refrigeration capacity and operating temperatures same as before. Examine the validity of the claim.

Problem
The operating temperatures of a single stage vapour
absorption refrigeration system are: generator: 90°C;
condenser and absorber: 40°C; evaporator: 0°C. The
system has a refrigeration capacity of 100 kW and the
heat input to the system is 160 kW. The solution
pump work is negligible.
a) Find the COP of the system and the total heat
rejection rate from the system.
b) An inventor claims that by improving the design of
all the components of the system he could reduce
the heat input to the system to 80 kW while
keeping the refrigeration capacity and operating
temperatures same as before. Examine the validity
of the claim.
