Question CO BL
No.
An ammonia refrigerator produces 30 tonnes of ice from and at 0 C in 24 hours.
The temperature range of compressor is 25 C to -15 C. The vapour is dry saturated
at the end of compression and an expansion valve is used. Assume the COP is 60
% of the theoretical value. Calculate the power required to run the compressor.
Latent heat of ice is 335 kJ/kg. The properties of ammonia are as below:
Temperature, C Enthalpy, kJ/kg Entropy, kJ/kgK
