Question: A four - cylinder, single acting R - 1 2 compressor 3 0 cm x 4 0 cm runs at 9 6 0 rpm .

A four-cylinder, single acting R-12 compressor 30 cm x 40 cm runs at 960 rpm. The compressor clearance factor is 0.03 and the law of compression pV1.1=C. the operating pressures for the vapour compression refrigeration system are: 8.47 bar (35\deg C) and 1.004 bar (-30\deg C). The refrigerant temperatures are: entering the compressor -20\deg C, leaving the compressor 50\deg C; entering the condenser 45\deg C, leaving the condenser 25\deg C, entering the expansion valve 30\deg C and leaving the evaporator dry saturated. Assuming that heat removed in the compressor is 25 kJ/sec. calculate: i) The refrigerating capacity ii) The compressor power iii) COP iv) Mass of condensing cooling water assuming the rise in temperature to be 10\deg C v) Also tabulate energy balance for 1 kg of refrigerant.
