Designing of Compressor

Data:

QFreezingTank , Tons of Refrigeration = 456.43 TR

QIceStorage , Tons of Refrigeration = 312.98 TR

Refrigerant = R717 - Ammonia

Ice Evaporating Temperature = 5℉

Condenser Temperature = 104℉

Storage Evaporating Temperature = -10℉

Storage Condensing Temperature = 40℉

For Freezing Tank:

From the Table of R717-Ammonia:

h1 = hg @ 5℉ = 613.135 Btu/lb

h3= hf @ 104℉= 159.8151 Btu/lb

v1 = vg at 5℉= 8.1483 ft3/lb

From Mollier Diagram of R717-Ammonia:

h2 = h at 1168.6 kPa and s2 equal to s1 = 681 Btu/lb

For Ice Storage

From the Table of R717-Ammonia:

h1 = hg @ -10℉ = 608.257 Btu/lb

h3= hf @ 40℉ = 86.6765 Btu/lb

v1 = vg at -10℉ = 11.502 ft3/lb
