refrigeration system? How is this function is achieved in a vapor absorption
refrigeration system?
An R-12 refrigeration system using a single compressor serves three evaporators of 50, 30 and 20 tons capacity in parallel to each other with an evaporating temperatures of 0 C(hg = 351.447 KJ/kg), -5 C(hg = 349.321 KJ/kg) and -10 C(hg = 347.134 KJ/kg), respectively. If the condenser is maintained at 40 C(hf = 238.535 KJ/kg), compute the COP of the system. Enthalpy at the end of compression is at 378 KJ/kg.
