Multi-Evaporator System
A multi- evaporator system of vapor compression refrigeration cycle is a special
arrangement of evaporator and expansion valve to cope with the temperature
requirements in the evaporator as required in industries. Since different product to be
cooled have different storage temperature, the need to design a suitable evaporator
temperature to correspond this need is very important.
a) Draw the P-h diagram of the system of refrigeration and indicate all necessary data to
determine the enthalpy at different section of the system.
b) Determine all the enthalpy in the 12 respective points shown in the diagram.
c) Determine the mass flow rate of Ammonia refrigerant designated as m1,Ws1,y1, M2, Ws2,
Y2, M3, and mt.
d) Determine the total work of compression.
e) Determine the COP of the System.
Problem 3
This problem is similar to Model #2 but using Ammonia refrigerant. Calculate the
following:
a) Enthalpy at different section of the System.
b) Mass flow rate, m1, vapor part y, m2 and mi.
c) COP of the system.
Cascade Systems
A cascade system combines two vapor-compression units, with the condenser of the
low-temperature system discharging its heat to the evaporator of the high-temperature system.
Cascade systems can normally furnish refrigeration down to about -100oC. There are two types
of cascade systems, the closed cascade condenser and the direct-contact heat exchanger.
In the closed cascade condenser, fluids in the high pressure and Low-pressure system
may be different.
In the direct-contact heat exchanger the same fluid is used through the system. The
direct-contact heat exchanger type is most common used.
