Title:
Calculation The COP Of Refrigeration System By Using
Engineering Equation Solver EES

Objectives:
1. To Study various components and controls used in vapor
compression cycle (VCC).
2. To evaluate actual and theoretical coefficient of
performance COP of vapor compression cycle by using
EES.

3. To Plot the refrigeration cycle on P-H chart.


Theory:
Test rig enables to study and understand vapor compression
cycle, its components, principle and working. All the
components are mounted on rigid steel frame. The trainer
consists of a hermetically sealed compressor; forced convection
air-cooled condenser, filter / drier, flow meter, expansion device
and immersed tube type evaporator. Separate pressure gauges
are provided to record suction and discharge pressure and digital
temperature indicators for various temperatures.

The calorimeter consists of an insulated stainless steel


tank in which evaporator tubes are fixed. The tubes are made of
refrigerated grade annealed copper tubes. This is a direct
expansion type evaporator. The heat absorbed by the refrigerant
is balanced by heater input. The heater is immersion type
resistive water heater. The calorimeter temperature can be set by
a digital thermostat. Adequate safety devices such as HP/LP cut-
out, heating thermostat, and overload protection for compressor
are incorporated to prevent any malfunctioning of the system.

Principle of Operation:-
The refrigeration test rig works on vapour compression cycle.
The refrigeration (i.e. process of maintain a closed space
temperature below ambient temperature) is accomplished by
continuously circulating, evaporating and condensing a fixed
supply of refrigerant in a closed system. Evaporation occurs at a
low temperature and low pressure while condensation occurs at
a high temperature and pressure. Thus it is possible to transfer
heat from an area of low temperature (in this case calorimeter)
to an area of high temperature (the surroundings).

The compressor pumps the low-pressure refrigerant from the


evaporator through the accumulator, increases its pressure, and
discharges the high-pressure gas to condenser. The accumulator
prevents liquid refrigerant entering the compressor. In the
condenser, the refrigerant rejects its heat to the surroundings by
passing air over it. At that pressure, the refrigerant loses its
latent heat and liquefies. Then the refrigerant passes through the
drier/filter where any residual moisture or foreign particles
present, these are plugged. The flow of refrigerant into the
evaporator is controlled by expansion device where its pressure
and consequently temperature is lowered to the saturation
temperature at the corresponding pressure. The low temperature
refrigerant enters the evaporators where it absorbs heat from the
surrounding medium and evaporates. The compressor sucks the
cold vapor and the cycle repeats.

The required instrumentation is provided to measure the various


parameters at different points. This includes pressure gauges,
temperature indicators and controller, energy-meters, heater for
applying load and flow meter to measure the refrigerant flow.
Main component of vapor compression cycle:

the main components of the vapor compression refrigeration


system include the compressor, the condenser, the evaporator
and the expansion valve. The components are illustrated in
Figure 1. In general, the vapor compression refrigeration cycle
of the system can be represented on a P-h diagram as shown in
Figure 2. The state points on the diagram are usually defined by
measuring the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant along
the cycle.

(a) Condenser Power Dissipation
The refrigeration system condenser serves to reject heat from
the system that has been extracted from the air stream, via the
evaporator and the compression work input to raise the pressure
from that of the evaporator to the condenser. The condenser
power dissipation can be calculated as:
