A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant (R-22) as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -25 °C by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 16 °C at a rate of 0.3 Kg/s and leaves at 36 °C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 12 bar and 50 °C and leaves at the same pressure subcooled by 8.25 °C. if the compressor consumes 8 kW of power, determine the following using Michael J.Moran Tables: The mass flow rate of the refrigerant The refrigeration load The CoP The minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load
2. Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator at 100 kPa and -20°C at a rate of
0.5 m³/min and leaves at 0.8 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78 percent.
The refrigerant enters the throttling valve at 0.75 MPa and 26°C and leaves the evaporator
as saturated vapor at 26°C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines,
and determine (a) the power input to the compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal from the
refrigerated space, and (c) the pressure drop and rate of heat gain in the line between the
evaporator and the compressor. Answers: (a) 2.40 kW, (b) 6.17 kW, (c) 1.73 kPa, 0.203 kW
A heat pump using refrigerant-134a heats a house by using underground water at 8°C as the heat source. The house is losing heat at a rate of 60,000 kJ/h. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 280 kPa and 0°C, and it leaves at 1 MPa and 60°C. The refrigerant exits the condenser at 30°C.
Investigate the effect of varying the compressor isentropic efficiency over the range [60 to 100 percent]. Plot the power input to the compressor and the electric power saved by using a heat pump rather than electric resistance heating as functions of compressor efficiency and discuss the results.
