1.
A refrigerant R-22 vapour compression system includes a
liquid-to-suction heat exchanger that superheats saturated vapour
coming from the evaporator from -10°C to 5°C by subcooling of the
liquid coming from the condenser at 30°C. The compression is isentropic
in both the cases listed below.
a) Draw the thermodynamic cycle as a h-p plot.
b) Calculate the COP of the system without the liquid-to-suction heat
exchanger but with condenser temperature of 30°C and evaporator
temperature of -10°C.
c) Calculate the COP of the system with the liquid-to-suction heat
exchanger
d) If the compressor is capable of pumping 12.0 L/s measured at the
compressor suction, what is the refrigeration capacity of the system
without the liquid-to-suction heat exchanger
e) with the same compressor capacity as in (c), what is the refrigeration
capacity of the system with the liquid-to-suction heat exchanger.

2.The catalogue of a refrigerant R-22, 4-cylinder, hermetic compressor
operating at 29 r/s, with a condensing temperature of 40°C, and a
evaporating temperature of -4°C shows a refrigerating capacity of
115 kW. At this operating point the motor (whose efficiency shows
90%) draws 34.5kW. The bore diameter of the cylinder is 87mm and
the piston stroke 70mm. The performance data are based on
8°C subcooling of the liquid leaving the condenser.
Compute the following
a) the amount of superheating in °C
b) the actual volumetric efficiency
c) the isentropic work of the compressor
d) isentropic compression efficiency η
