Chapter 07

The document describes two problems involving refrigeration systems. The first problem involves determining the refrigerating capacity of a water evaporator that removes 3.06 m3/s of vapor, with the warm water entering at 18 C and leaving chilled at 10 C. The second problem involves determining (a) the quantity of chilled water required and (b) the volume of vapor removed for a steam jet refrigeration system maintaining an evaporator at 6 C with a capacity of 50 tons.

CHAPTER 7

1. There are removed 3.06 m3/s of vapor from the water evaporator of a vacuum
refrigeration system; the warm water enters the evaporator at 18 C and chilled
water leaves at 10 C; make-up water enters at 29 C. Determine the refrigerating
capacity.

Solution:

Solving for Z

At 3, t3 = 10 C ,
v3 = vg = 106.38 m3 kg
h3 = hg = 2477.7 kJ kg

V&3 3.06
Z= = = 0.0288 kg s
v3 106.38

at 4, t4 = 29 C
h4 = h f = 121.6 kJ kg

Energy balance of the system, neglect pumpwork,


Q& A = Z (h3 − h4 ) = 0.0288(2477.7 − 121.6 ) = 67.68 kW

2. In a steam jet refrigeration system, the evaporator is maintained at 6 C. The


chilled water leaves at the same temperature and warms to 11 C as it absorbs the
load. Make-up water is available at 25 C. For a capacity of 50 tons, determine (a)
the quantity of chilled water required, and (b) the volume of vapor removed.

Solution:
CHAPTER 7

(a) Solving for quantity of chilled water = m& .

For chilled water,


h1 = h f at 6 C = 25.19 kJ kg
For warm water,
h2 = h f at 11 C = 46.21 kJ kg

Q& A = m& (h 2 −h1 )


(50)(3.516) = m& (46.21 − 25.19)
m& = 8.363 kg s

(b) Solving for the volume of vapor removed = V&3

For the vapor,


h3 = hg at 6 C = 2512.4 kJ kg
v3 = vg at 6 C = 139 m 3 kg

For make-up water


h4 = h f at 25 C = 104.9 kJ kg

For Z , neglecting pump work.


CHAPTER 7

Z (h 3 − h4 ) = Q& A
Z (2512.4 − 104.9 ) = (50)(3.516 )
Z = 0.073 kg s

V&3 = Zv3 = (0.073)(139 ) = 10.15 m3 s
