1. An Ammonia vapor refrigeration cycle operates at evaporator temperature of -16

°C and a condensing temperature of 32 °C. Determine the coefficient of
performance

a) For ideal saturation cycle

b) For wet compression with saturated vapor leaving the compressor
c) If the vapor at suction to the compressor is superheated 6 degrees

2. A standard vapor compression system produces 20 tons of refrigeration using R-

12 as refrigerant while operating between condenser temperature of 41.6 C and
an evaporator temperature of -25 °C. Determine

a) a refrigerating effect in kJ/kg

b) the circulating rate in kg/s
c) the power supplied
d) the coefficient of performance
e) the heat rejected in KW
f) the volume flow rate in L/s

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:

Refrigerant ammonia
Condenser water inlet 30°C
Condenser water outlet 40 °C
Condensing temperature 35 °C
Refrigerant flow 3.84 kg/min
Circulating water flow 120 kg/min

a) If the company decided to purchase a new compressor and

evaporator, find the tonnage of the system and temperature in the
evaporator
b) What is the coefficient of performance
c) Find the theoretical horsepower required
