Problem:
A 40-TOR, ammonia ice plant operates on a simple saturation cycle with the following
temperatures: condensing temp = 350C and evaporating temp = - 150C. It produces tons
of ice per day at – 60C from water with raw temperature of 25 0C. Draw the cycle on PH
plane and determine:
(a) The tons of ice it can produce in one day at – 8 deg C if the raw
temperature of water is 28 deg C.
