FIGURE 1: VAPOR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE
The chiller system operates based on the vapour compression refrigeration cycle (figure 1) with a
single stage compression. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is assumed at 85%. The
refrigerant exit evaporator and condenser can be assumed as saturated.
