Q.1. In a refrigerant 12 refrigeration system the capacity is 180 kW at a temperature of -30°C. The vapor from
the evaporator is pumped by one compressor to the condensing pressure of 1500 kPa. Later the system is
revised to a two-stage compression operating on the cycle shown in Figure 1 with intercooling but no removal
of flash gas at 600 kPa.

a) Calculate the power required by the single compressor in the original system.
b) Calculate the total power required by the two compressors in the revised system.

Figure 1 Intercooling system in Q.1.

Q.2. A refrigerant 12 system has a capacity of 180 kW at an evaporating temperature of -30°C when the
condensing pressure is 1500 kPa.

a) Compute the power requirement for a system with a single compressor.


b) Compute the total power required by the two compressors in the system shown in Figure 2 where there
is no intercooling but there is flash-gas removal at 600 kPa.

Q.3. A two-stage ammonia system using flash-gas removal and intercooling operates on the cycle shown in
Figure 3. The condensing temperature is 35°C. The saturation temperature of the intermediate-temperature
evaporator is 0° C, and its capacity is 150 kW. The satm.1tion temperature of the low-temperature evaporator
is -40° C, and its capacity is 250 kW. What is the rate of refrigerant compressed by the high-stage compressor?

Q.4. A two-stage refrigerant 22 system that uses flash-gas removal and intercooling serves a single low-
temperature evaporator, as in Figure 4. The evaporating temperature is -40 oC, and the condensing temperature
is 30 oC. The pumping capacities of the high- and low-stage compressors are shown in Fig. 5. What is

a) the refrigerating capacity of the system


b) the intermediate pressure

Q.6. A two-stage ammonia system designed for a fish freezing plant, uses flash gas removal and intercooling
operation (Figure 7). The condensing temperature is 35°C. The saturation temperature of the high-temperature
evaporator is 0°C and its capacity is 90 kW. The saturation temperature of the low-temperature evaporator is
-40°C and its capacity is 170 kW of refrigeration. Draw the cycle on a p-h diagram. Determine the following:

a) The rate of refrigerant compressed by the high-stage compressor


b) The power required by the compressors
