4. The following data refers to a two stage compression with multiple expansion valves and
flash inter-cooling :
Condenser pressure : 9.634 Bar; Evaporator pressure : 1.828 Bar; Mass flow rate of
refrigerant through evaporator: 0.2 kg/sec; intermediate pressure: 4.238 Bar; Refrigerant :
R-12. Obtain the COP and capacity of the system and compare with a corresponding
single-stage system operating between the above pressure limits.
5. 39.6 cm of a mixture of re-circulated room air & outdoor air enter a cooling coil at 31?C
DBT & 18.5?C WBT. The effective surface temperature of the coil is 4.4?C. The surface
area of the coil is such that it can produce 12.5 kW of refrigeration with the given
entering air state. Determine the DBT & WBT of the air leaving the coil and the coil
bypass factor.
6. Explain the working principle of Linde and Claude refrigeration system with the help of a
neat sketch.
SECTION-C
7. a) An ammonia refrigeration machine has to produce refrigeration effect equal to the
production of 20 tonnes of ice per day at ?2?C from water at 9?C. If the system
operates between the temperature limits of 27?C and ?13?C. Calculate : Work input
of compressor and actual COP if relative COP of system is 0.5
b) A freon ?22 refrigeration plant working between the temperature limits of 5?C &
40?C produces refrigeration capacity of 40 TR. What would be its capacity for food
freezing for which the evaporator temperature is to be maintained at ?35?C?
8. a) The barometer for atmospheric air reads 750 mm Hg. The DBT 33?C and WBT is
23?C. Determine relative humidity, humidity ratio, dew point temperature.
b) Describe the environmental impact of CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants.
9. a) A cascade refrigeration system is designed to 10 TR at an evaporator temperature of
?60?C and a condenser temperature of 25?C. The load at ?60?C is absorbed by a unit
using R-22 as a refrigerant and is rejected to a cascade condenser at ?20?C. A unit
using R-12 as the refrigerant and operating between ?30?C evaporator temperature
and 25?C condenser temperature cools the cascade condenser. The refrigerant leaving
the R-12 condenser is sub-cooled to 20?C. The vapors leaving the evaporators are dry
saturated. Determine: compression ratio for each unit, quantity of refrigerant
circulated per minute for each unit, COP for each unit, COP of whole system,
theoretical power required to run the system.
b) Explain the working of Ammonia water vapour absorption refrigeration system
giving a neat sketch.
