5. VAPOUR COMPRESSION
REFRIGERATION

6. Overview:
• Highly compressed fluids tend to get colder when
allowed to expand.
• If pressure is high enough:
 Compressed air hotter than source of cooling.
 Expanding gas cooler than desired cold temperature.

7. Advantages:
 A lot of heat can be removed (lot of thermal energy to
change liquid to vapour).
 Heat transfer rate remains high ( temperature of
working fluid much lower than what is being cooled).

9. Types Of Refrigerant:
 Refrigerant determined bt the required cooling
temperature.
 Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFCs)
 Or freons : R-11 .

12. ASSESSMENT OF REFRIGERATION

13. Cooling Effect :
 Tons of Refrigeration :
1 TR = 3024 kcal/hr heat rejected.
TR = Q x Cp X x (Ti – To) / 3024

14. Coefficient of Performance (COP):
 Standard measure of refrigeration efficiency.
• Depends on evaporator temperature Te and
condensing temperature Tc:
COP = Te / (Tc – Te)
• COP in industry calculated for type of compressor:
COP = Cooling effect (kw)/power input(kw)

15. Graph Comparison of COP:
