A vapour compression refrigeration system operates between condenser and evaporator
temperatures of 30C and -10C, respectively. The system employs a regenerative liquid
to vapour heat exchanger, which sub-cools saturated liquid from the condenser with
vapour from the evaporator at -10C. Given that the refrigerant enthalpy drop in sub-
cooling is 6.602kJkg and the compressor displacement is 1.1m3min. Assuming
compression to be isentropic and specinc vorume at the suction of compressor to be equal
to specific volume of saturated vapour, calculate:
i. The mass flow rate of refrigerant in kgmin, given Volumetric efficiency vv=0.92.
ii. The refrigeration capacity in TR.
iii. The COP for cooling and
iv. The theoretical hpTR needed to run the compressor.
