ASSIGNMENT-1

1. A refrigeration unit works between an evaporator temperature of -15C

and a condenser saturation temperature of 35C with R12 as refrigerant.
a) Determine the COP and refrigeration capacity(kW) if it operates on
standard cycle.
b) Determine COP refrigeration capacity(kW) if sub-cooling and
superheating are achieved by installing a liquid-vapour heat exchanger
with the vapour leaving the heat exchanger at 15C.
Consider the compressor is capable of pumping 12 lit/s measured at
compressor suction for both the cases.
2. i) Why sub-cooling and superheating is required in vapour compression
refrigeration system?
ii) With a neat sketch and describe how sub-cooling can be achieved in
vapour compression refrigeration system with suction line heat exchanger.
Also draw corresponding help of P-h and T-s diagram.
3. A R12 refrigeration machine working on vapour compression refrigeration
cycle has saturated suction temperature of 5C and saturated discharge
temperature of 40C. Determine
i) the theoretical piston displacement per ton of refrigeration (TR)
ii) the theoretical power per ton of refrigeration (TR)
iii) the coefficient of performance
a) when the compression is dry. b) when the compression is
wet.
