ABSTRACT
The purpose of this project is to examine the
difference in coefficient of performance of
vapor compression cycle using air cool and water
cool condenser.
Heat transfer rate(𝑞𝑞)̇ of both the condensers will
also be calculated and compared.
INTRODUCTION
Four Main Components:
1. Compressor 2. Condenser 3. Throttling Device 3. Evaporator
VAPOR COMPRESSION CYCLE
T-S Diagram P-H Diagram
VAPOR COMPRESSION CYCLE
From the four components of this close cycle, condenser will be worked upon.
Working of rest of the component will remain the same.
Air is mostly used as the heat rejecting medium in the condenser ,we come up with
the idea of changing that medium from air to water .
Specific heat of water is much greater then that of air so the heat rejection rate will
increase .

 LITERATURE REVIEW
AUTHOR YEAR FEATURES
Purusothaman Mani, G. Madhubalan, 2020  They give some ideas to convert air cool condenser to water cool condenser.
T. Parameswaran, Venkatesan Sorakka  Fabrication of water cool condenser from air cool condenser is discussed in their
Ponnappan, Senthilkumar Gnanamani,
research.
Valarmathi Thirumalai Natesan

Sukani Sunny, 2015  Liquid on evaporative coil is thrown back to storage tank and then to condenser coil.
Savaj Jayesh,  This liquid will help clean the condenser coil.
Group of Other Students
 Size of condenser can be reduced if water is used as cooling medium.
 Cop of system using water as cooling medium increases.

Charles E. Goodremote, 1988  Specific heat of water is more then that of air so heat transfer rate will increase .
Leon A. Guntly,  During Summer, as Environment temperature is high, the heat transfer rate is slow,
Norman F. Costello
water cooled condenser can maintain the rate.
 COP of the system decreases in hot weather conditions and also due to rapid
increase in global warming conditions by advance technology of heat rejection COP
of system can increase
LITERATURE REVIEW
OBJECTIVES
1. Thermal analysis of air & Water cool condenser
2. Computer aided design of Air & Water cool condenser
3. Comparison of heat transfer rate and COP in both cases
4. Fabrication of water cool condenser only.
IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT/SAFETY
1. Release of CFCs/ HFCs
2. Not economical on very large scales
3. Bacteria due to Unclean ducts
4. Indoor Pollutants
5. Indoor Air Quality Issues
HOW TO OVERCOME THE IMPACTS?
1. Alternative Power Source
2. Better Insulation
3. Outdated or Faulty Equipment
4. Look for other ways to keep cool
5. Work on HVAC Replacement
