A vapor-compression refrigeration system is conventional except that a countercurrent heat exchanger is
installed to subcool the liquid from the condenser by heat exchange with the vapor stream from the
evaporator. The minimum temperature difference for heat transfer is 5°C. Tetrafluoroethane is the
refrigerant (Table 9.1, Fig. F.2), evaporating at -8°C and condensing at 24 °C. The heat load on the
evaporator is 2000 kJ/s.
