An industrial plant has available a 4 cylinder, 3 in bore
by 4in. stroke, 800 rpm, single-acting compressor for use with
R-134a - Proposed operating conditions for the comprassor are 100°F
condensing temperature and 40°F evaporating temperature. It is estimated
that the refrigerant will enter the expansion value as a saturated liquid
that the vapor will leave the evaporator at temperature of 45°F and that
vapor will enter the compressor at a temperature 55°F. Assumes a con
volumetric efficiency of 70% and frictionless flow. Calculate the refrig-
erating capacity in tons for a system equipped with this
the cycle on the p-h diagram. [ Ans: 12 tons]
compressor
compressor.
