Question

(3) A manufacturing company is intending to use its water cooled condenser for its proposed cold storage room. The name plate of the condenser gives the following specifications: \begin{tabular}{ll} refrigerant & ammonia \\ condenser water inlet & \( 30^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) \\ condenser water outlet & \( 40^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) \\ condensing temperature & \( 35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) \\ refrigerant flow & \( 3.84 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{min} \) \\ circulating water flow & \( 120 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{min} \) \end{tabular} (a) If the company decided to purchase a new compressor and evaporator, find the tonnage of the system and the temperature in the evaporator, (b) what is the COP? (c) find the theoretical \( { }^{\mathrm{hp}} \) required.

a-large-refrigeration-plant-is-to-be-maintained-at-15circ-mathrmc-and-it-requires-refrigeration-at-a

A large refrigeration plant is to be maintained at $-15^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and it requires refrigeration at a rate of $100 \mathrm{kW}$ The condenser of the plant is to be cooled by liquid water, which experiences a temperature rise of $8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ as it flows over the coils of the condenser. Assuming the plant operates on the ideal vapor-compression cycle using refrigerant-134a between the pressure limits of 120 and $700 \mathrm{kPa}$, determine $(a)$ the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, $(b)$ the power input to the compressor, and (c) the mass flow rate of the cooling water.

A 10 TR refrigeration system is required for a food storage locker. The evaporator temperature is -20°C and the condenser temperature is 50°C. The working fluid is R-134a. The refrigerant is superheated by 5°C in the evaporator. The refrigerant is subcooled by 5°C at the exit of the condenser and before entering the expansion valve. The refrigerant compresses in a double-cylinder single-acting reciprocating compressor having L/D as 1.1 and 80% volumetric efficiency. The compressor runs at 1200 rpm. Calculate: (a) mass flow rate of refrigerant in kg/s (b) bore and stroke of the compressor in mm (c) theoretical power required in kW (d) COP.

a-commercial-refrigerator-with-refrigerant-134a-as-the-working-fluid-is-used-to-keep-the-refrigera-2

A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at $-35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at $18^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at a rate of $0.25 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$ and leaves at $26^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The refrigerant enters the condenser at $1.2 \mathrm{MPa}$ and $50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and leaves at the same pressure subcooled by $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If the compressor consumes $3.3 \mathrm{~kW}$ of power, determine $(a)$ the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load, $(c)$ the $\mathrm{COP}$ and $(d)$ the minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load.
