The document summarizes an experiment on refrigeration systems. The experiment was conducted to familiarize students with refrigeration components, study the refrigeration cycle characteristics, and plot the refrigeration cycle on a pressure-enthalpy diagram using collected data. Students started the experiment by running the startup procedure, then collected data and calculated the coefficient of performance. Finally, they plotted the pressure-enthalpy diagram, which showed the equipment performance matched the theoretical diagram with slight deviations.

ABSTRACT

The experiment of refrigeration was conducted with the aim of familiarizing the components
in the refrigeration system, studying the characteristics of the refrigeration cycle, and to plot the
refrigeration cycle in a Pressure-Enthalpy relationship diagram from the collected experimental data.
The experiment was started by running the general start-up procedure for task 1 and followed up by
task 2. At the end of the experiment, the Hilton Refrigeration Laboratory unit is shut-down properly
according to the given shut-down procedure. Data is tabulated and calculated to find the coefficient
of performance. Lastly, a pressure-enthalpy diagram is plotted to observe the equipment
performance against the theoretical pressure-enthalpy diagram, the result show the same with slight
deviations.

INTRODUCTION

The refrigeration cycle in various forms finds applications in industrial and domestic
situations. For example, the storage and transport of perishable foodstuffs and drugs would be
extremely difficult if not impossible without refrigeration. Similarly the efficient operation of offices
and factories in many parts of the world would be impossible without the use of refrigeration plants
in air conditioning systems. It is for these reasons that engineers of many disciplines must have a
good working knowledge of the refrigeration cycle.

A refrigerator is defined as a machine whose prime function is to remove heat from a low
temperature region. Since the energy extracted cannot be destroyed, it follows that this energy, plus
the energy required to operate the machine, must be rejected to the surroundings at a higher
temperature. If the temperature of rejection is high enough to be useful (e.g. for space or water
heating) and this is the prime object of the machine, then the machine is called a Heat Pump. The
most common type of refrigerator or heat pump operates on the Vapour Compression Cycle and
requires a work input.

OBJECTIVE

At the end of the lab demonstration and experiment, participants should be able to:

 Identify the components in a refrigeration system


 Study characteristics of refrigeration cycle
 Plot refrigeration cycle in P-h diagram from experimental data
