Lecture 5

This lecture discusses multipressure refrigeration systems. (1) Multipressure systems use flash gas removal and flash intercooling to improve efficiency. Flash gas is removed from the evaporator and used to subcool the liquid in a separate chamber. (2) Intermediate pressures are used between the high and low pressures of each stage to further improve efficiency. The ratio of intermediate to high pressure is related to the ratio of temperatures by an equation. (3) Examples of single and multiple compressor configurations are provided along with diagrams of thermodynamic cycles for each. Cascade systems using two separate refrigerants are also introduced.

Ex.5.1 A two-stage ammonia food-freezing plant gwith a desired capacity of 528,000


kJ/h at -40 C evaporating temperature and 35 C condensing temperature ghas a flash
intercooling system with a liquid subcooler. The vapor leaving the evaporator as -30 C
and entering the first stage compressor at -15 C. The vapor leaving the flash chamber is
superheated by 10 C in the suction line to the second stage compressor. Water
intercooling is done to cool the vapor to 45 C. Adiabatic efficiencies of both
compressors are 0.75. The volumetric efficiencies of first and second stage compressor
are 0.65 and 0.77 respectively. Fine the piston displacements, discharge temperatures and
power requirements of the two compressors.

Exercises 3
1. A two-stage R-22 plant with flash intercooler for food freezing has two 45 mm bore and
40 mm stroke compressors as follows:
LP Compressor: No. of cylinders 6; rpm 1000; Volumetric efficiency 75%
HP Compressor: No. of cylinders 4; rpm 800; Volumetric efficiency 69%
Find the refrigerating capacity of the plant when the operating at a condenser temperature
of 40 C and evaporator temperature of -40 C. Also, find the interstage pressure.
