- I want to design an air-conditioning system that operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with min temperature of the evaporator of 20°C. To increase the COPR of the cycle, I am considering replacing the refrigerant R134a as the working fluid with pure water. Do you think such a system is possible? If yes, explain why you would or would not recommend such a system. Can I please get a in depth answer for this question. Thanks.arrow_forward* 1.
