Q3. A water chiller (refrigeration plant) uses a flooded evaporator in which the liquid refrigerant flows through the shell and the water flows within the tubes inside the shell. The flow rate of refrigerant is controlled so that the tubes are always covered with liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant used is 134a (tetrafluoroethane). It enters the evaporator at -13°C. The tubes are maintained at a temperature of 5°C by the water being cooled. The total area of the coil within the...

Problem #1 (40 Marks) A refrigeration system is designed to maintain a cool space at -20°C in arn environment of +50°C. The wide temperature range is difficult to achieve with a single refrigerant, because the refrigerant will generally be at excessively high pressures at the top of the temperature range, and sub-atmospheric pressures at the bottom end The problem is solved with a 2-stage cascaded system that uses refrigerant 134a (R134a) and refrigerant 22 (R22) respectively for the high temperature...
