Chapter 06

An open air refrigeration system with a load of 35 kW, suction pressure of 103 kPa, and discharge pressure of 690 kPa is analyzed. With polytropic compression at n=1.33 and expansion at n=1.35, the power required is calculated to be 23.82 kW and the COP is 1.47. A second system with a load of 52.5 kW, cooler pressure of 1448 kPa, and refrigerator pressure of 207 kPa is also analyzed. With polytropic compression at n=1.34 and isentropic expansion, the power required is 35.66 kW and the COP is also calculated to be 1.47.

CHAPTER 6

1. An open air refrigeration system carries a load of 35 kW with a suction pressure


of 103 kPa and a discharge pressure of 690 kPa. The temperature leaving the
refrigerator is 5 C and that leaving the cooler is 30 C. The compression is
polytropic with n = 1.33 and the expansion is also polytropic but with n = 1.35 .
Determine the power required and the COP .

Solution:

T1 = 5 + 273 = 278 K
T3 = 30 + 273 = 303 K

2. An air refrigeration system is required to produce 52.5 kW of refrigeration with a


cooler pressure of 1448 kPa and a refrigerator pressure of 207 kPa. Leaving air
temperatures are 29 C for cooler and 5 C for refrigerator. Expansion is isentropic
and compression is polytropic with n = 1.34 . Determine the COP .
