1 The following data refer to single cylinder, single acting compressor of an 10 1 1
Ammonia refrigeration system:
a. Bore = 100mm
b. Stroke = 150mm
c. Speed = 200 rpm
d. Indicated mean effective pressure = 3.2 bar
e. Condenser pressure = 10 bar
f. Evaporator pressure = 3 bar
g. Temperature of water at entry to condenser = 55 °C
h. Temperature of water a exit from Condenser = 20 °C
i. Rate of cooling water flowing in the condenser = 12.5 kg/min
j. Inlet water temperature = 12.5 °C
k. Outlet water temperature = 22.5 °C

the latent heat of ice is 335 kJ/kg, find
i. COP
ii. Mass flow rate of ammonia per minute

condensing steam at 3 bar and 85% dry. The temperature in the evaporator
is to be maintained at – 10C. if the cooling water rejects heat at 30°C in the
condenser, find the maximum COP of the system. When the refrigeration
load is 10 tonnes and actual COP is 40% of the maximum COP, find the
mass of steam required per hour.
