Fig.6.5. Simple vapour compression system
The schematic diagram of the arrangement is as shown in Fig.6.5. The low
temperature, low pressure vapor at state B is compressed by a compressor to high
temperature and pressure vapor at state C. This vapor is condensed into high pressure
vapor at state D in the condenser and then passes through the expansion valve. Here,
the vapor is throttled down to a low pressure liquid and passed on to an evaporator,
where it absorbs heat from the surroundings from the circulating fluid (being
refrigerated) and vaporizes into low pressure vapor at state B. The cycle then repeats.
The exchange of energy is as follows:

a) Compressor requires work, δw. The work is supplied to the system from the
surroundings.
b) During condensation, heat δQ1 the equivalent of latent heat of condensation
etc, is lost from the refrigerator.
c) During evaporation, heat δQ2 equivalent to latent heat of vaporization is
absorbed by the refrigerant.
d) There is no exchange of heat during throttling process through the expansion
valve as this process occurs at constant enthalpy.

Fig.6.5.1. T-s diagram of refrigeration cycle
Figure 6.5.1 shows a simple vapor compression refrigeration cycle on T-s diagram for
different compression processes. The cycle works between temperatures T1 and T2
representing the condenser and evaporator temperatures respectively. The various
process of the cycle A-B-C-D (A-B’-C’-D and A-B”-C”-D) are as given below:
Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna
Indian Institute of Technology Madras
i) Process B-C (B’-C’ or B”-C”): Isentropic compression of the vapor from state
B to C. If vapor state is saturated (B), or superheated (B”), the compression is
called dry compression. If initial state is wet (B’), the compression is called
wet compression as represented by B’-C’.
ii) Process C-D (C’-D or C”-D): Heat rejection in condenser at constant
pressure.
iii) Process D-A: An irreversible adiabatic expansion of vapor through the
expansion value. The pressure and temperature of the liquid are reduced.
The process is accompanied by partial evaporation of some liquid. The
process is shown by dotted line.
iv) Process A-B (A-B’ or A-B”) : Heat absorption in evaporator at constant
pressure. The final state depends on the quantity of heat absorbed and same
may be wet (B’) dry (B) or superheated (B”).

Fig.6.5.3. Comparison of simple vapor compression cycle with Carnot cycle
a. In vapor compression cycle, de-superheating between C and C’ is at constant
pressure rather than constant temperature. Therefore, more work has to be
supplied to the compressor. There is an equivalent amount of increase in the
magnitude of heat rejected.
b. In vapor compression cycle, no work is done by the system during the throttling
process. Hence, the network supplied to the cycle increases further by area EDT
as compared to the reversed Carnot cycle. Because,
{(Area RSDO – Area RBEO) – Area EDT } = Area BSDT
c. In vapor compression cycle, there is a loss of refrigeration effect equivalent to
area PQAT due to increase in entropy during the irreversible throttling expansion.
d. The effect of all these deviations is to increase the compression work required or
to decrease the refrigeration effect and therefore the COP of the vapor
compression cycle will be less than that of reversed Carnot cycle.

6.5.4 Factors Affecting the Performance of Vapor Compression
Refrigeration System:
(a) Sub-cooling of Liquids:
In the Fig.6.5.4(a) of simple vapor compression cycle, condensation process CD
resulted in the liquid at saturated state D. If it was possible to further cool down the
liquid to some lower value say upto D’, then the net refrigeration effect will be increased
as (hB – h’A) > (hB - hA). Hence, the sub cooling of the liquid increases the refrigerating
effect without increasing the work requirement. Thus COP is improved. The sub cooling
may be achieved by any of the following methods:

h(kj/kg)
Fig.6.5.4(a). Subcooling and superheating of refrigerant
(i) By passing the liquid refrigerant from condenser through a heat exchanger
through which the cold vapor at suction from the evaporator is allowed to flow
in the reversed direction. This process subcools the liquid but superheats the
vapor. Thus, COP is not improved though refrigeration effect is increased.
(ii) By making use of enough quantity of cooling water so that the liquid
refrigerant is further cooled below the temperature of saturation. In some
cases, a separate subcooler is also made use of for this purpose. In this case,
COP is improved.
Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna
Indian Institute of Technology Madras
(b) Superheating of Vapor:
If the vapor at the compressor entry is in the superheated state B”, which is produced
due to higher heat absorption in the evaporator, then the refrigerating effect is increased
as (h”B - hA) > (hB – hA). However, COP may increase, decrease or remain unchanged
depending upon the range of pressure of the cycle.
(c) Change in suction pressure (PS):

Fig.6.5.4(c). Effect of change in evaporator and condenser pressure
Let the suction pressure or the evaporating pressure in a simple refrigeration cycle be
reduced from PS to P’S. It will be clear from the figure that:
The refrigerating effect is reduced to: B A B A(h - h ) (h - h )′ ′ <
The work of compression is increased to: C B C B(h - h ) (h - h )′′ ′′ >
Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna
Indian Institute of Technology Madras
Hence, the decrease in suction pressure decreases the refrigeration effect and at the
same time increases the work of compression. But, both the effects tend to decrease
the COP.
(d) Change in discharge pressure (Pd):
In Fig.6.5.4(c), let us assume that the pressure at the discharge or the condensing
pressure is increased from Pd to P’d. It will have effects as follows:
The compressor work requirement is increased to: C B C B(h - h ) (h - h )′′ >
The refrigerating effect is reduced to: B A B A(h - h ) (h - h )′′ <
Therefore, the increase in discharge pressure results in lower COP. Hence, the
discharge pressure should be kept as low as possible depending upon the temperature
of the cooling medium available.

Fig.6.5.4(e). Effect of volumetric efficiency
Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna
Indian Institute of Technology Madras
The factors like clearance volume, pressure drop through discharge and suction values,
leakage of vapor along the piston and superheating of cold vapor due to contact with
hot cylinder walls, affects the volume of the vapor actually pumped by the compressor.
The volumetric efficiency of a compressor is defined as;
vol
Actual mass of vapor drawn at suction conditions
η =
Theoritical mass that can be filled in the displacement volume
Figure 6.5.4(e) represents the p-v diagram of a compressor. Now, during suction stroke
B”–B, the vapor filled in clearance space at pressure Pd expands along C’-B’ and the
suction valve opens only when the pressure has dropped down to pS. Therefore, the
actual amount of vapor sucked during the suction stroke is (v1 - v2) while the stroke
volume is (v1 - vc). Volumetric efficiency decreases the refrigeration effect.

Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras 6.5 Simple Vapor Compression Refrigeration System: A simple vapor compression refrigeration system consists of the following equipments: i) Compressor ii) Condenser iii) Expansion valve iv) Evaporator. B CCOMPRESOR wEVAPORATOR (-300C) CONDENSER (350 C) FLUID TO BE COOLED 00C EXPANSION VALVE A D ∆Q2 COOLING WATER 200C ∆Q1 Fig.6.5. Simple vapour compression system The schematic diagram of the arrangement is as shown in Fig.6.5. The low temperature, low pressure vapor at state B is compressed by a compressor to high temperature and pressure vapor at state C. This vapor is condensed into high pressure vapor at state D in the condenser and then passes through the expansion valve. Here, the vapor is throttled down to a low pressure liquid and passed on to an evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the surroundings from the circulating fluid (being refrigerated) and vaporizes into low pressure vapor at state B. The cycle then repeats. The exchange of energy is as follows:
  • 2. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras a) Compressor requires work, δw. The work is supplied to the system from the surroundings. b) During condensation, heat δQ1 the equivalent of latent heat of condensation etc, is lost from the refrigerator. c) During evaporation, heat δQ2 equivalent to latent heat of vaporization is absorbed by the refrigerant. d) There is no exchange of heat during throttling process through the expansion valve as this process occurs at constant enthalpy. 6.5.1 Simple Vapor Compression Cycle: T1 T2 350 c -300 C D T A B' B B" C' C C" P Q R' R S T Fig.6.5.1. T-s diagram of refrigeration cycle Figure 6.5.1 shows a simple vapor compression refrigeration cycle on T-s diagram for different compression processes. The cycle works between temperatures T1 and T2 representing the condenser and evaporator temperatures respectively. The various process of the cycle A-B-C-D (A-B’-C’-D and A-B”-C”-D) are as given below:
  • 3. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras i) Process B-C (B’-C’ or B”-C”): Isentropic compression of the vapor from state B to C. If vapor state is saturated (B), or superheated (B”), the compression is called dry compression. If initial state is wet (B’), the compression is called wet compression as represented by B’-C’. ii) Process C-D (C’-D or C”-D): Heat rejection in condenser at constant pressure. iii) Process D-A: An irreversible adiabatic expansion of vapor through the expansion value. The pressure and temperature of the liquid are reduced. The process is accompanied by partial evaporation of some liquid. The process is shown by dotted line. iv) Process A-B (A-B’ or A-B”) : Heat absorption in evaporator at constant pressure. The final state depends on the quantity of heat absorbed and same may be wet (B’) dry (B) or superheated (B”). 6.5.2 COP of Vapor Compression Cycle: Heat extracted at low tempreature COP Work supplied = Heat extracted at low temperature = Heat transfer during the process A-B = refrigerating effect. 2 B Aq (h - h )= Work of compression = w = (hc-hB) (adiabatic compression). So, B A c B h - h COP h - h ⎧ ⎫ = ⎨ ⎬ ⎩ ⎭ Now, heat rejected to the condenser, 1 2q w q= = + C B B A(h - h ) (h - h )= + C A(h - h )= C D(h - h )=
  • 4. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras 6.5.3 Comparison of Simple Vapor Compression Cycle with Carnot Cycle: T1 T2 350 c -300C D T A B' B C' C L Q R' R E O T S P S Fig.6.5.3. Comparison of simple vapor compression cycle with Carnot cycle a. In vapor compression cycle, de-superheating between C and C’ is at constant pressure rather than constant temperature. Therefore, more work has to be supplied to the compressor. There is an equivalent amount of increase in the magnitude of heat rejected. b. In vapor compression cycle, no work is done by the system during the throttling process. Hence, the network supplied to the cycle increases further by area EDT as compared to the reversed Carnot cycle. Because, {(Area RSDO – Area RBEO) – Area EDT } = Area BSDT c. In vapor compression cycle, there is a loss of refrigeration effect equivalent to area PQAT due to increase in entropy during the irreversible throttling expansion. d. The effect of all these deviations is to increase the compression work required or to decrease the refrigeration effect and therefore the COP of the vapor compression cycle will be less than that of reversed Carnot cycle.
  • 5. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras 6.5.4 Factors Affecting the Performance of Vapor Compression Refrigeration System: (a) Sub-cooling of Liquids: In the Fig.6.5.4(a) of simple vapor compression cycle, condensation process CD resulted in the liquid at saturated state D. If it was possible to further cool down the liquid to some lower value say upto D’, then the net refrigeration effect will be increased as (hB – h’A) > (hB - hA). Hence, the sub cooling of the liquid increases the refrigerating effect without increasing the work requirement. Thus COP is improved. The sub cooling may be achieved by any of the following methods: 350C C' C C''D' D8.46 P (bar) 1.00 A' A -300C B B'' 59.05 175.81 192.60 212.70 235.60 h(kj/kg) Fig.6.5.4(a). Subcooling and superheating of refrigerant (i) By passing the liquid refrigerant from condenser through a heat exchanger through which the cold vapor at suction from the evaporator is allowed to flow in the reversed direction. This process subcools the liquid but superheats the vapor. Thus, COP is not improved though refrigeration effect is increased. (ii) By making use of enough quantity of cooling water so that the liquid refrigerant is further cooled below the temperature of saturation. In some cases, a separate subcooler is also made use of for this purpose. In this case, COP is improved.
  • 6. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras (b) Superheating of Vapor: If the vapor at the compressor entry is in the superheated state B”, which is produced due to higher heat absorption in the evaporator, then the refrigerating effect is increased as (h”B - hA) > (hB – hA). However, COP may increase, decrease or remain unchanged depending upon the range of pressure of the cycle. (c) Change in suction pressure (PS): p'd D' pd D 500C 350C -50C -300c A"A A' P (bar) 2.60 1.00 69.63 85.37 187.91 209.25 219.59 h(kj/kg) L C" C C' 12.10 8.46 ps p's M B B' Fig.6.5.4(c). Effect of change in evaporator and condenser pressure Let the suction pressure or the evaporating pressure in a simple refrigeration cycle be reduced from PS to P’S. It will be clear from the figure that: The refrigerating effect is reduced to: B A B A(h - h ) (h - h )′ ′ < The work of compression is increased to: C B C B(h - h ) (h - h )′′ ′′ >
  • 7. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras Hence, the decrease in suction pressure decreases the refrigeration effect and at the same time increases the work of compression. But, both the effects tend to decrease the COP. (d) Change in discharge pressure (Pd): In Fig.6.5.4(c), let us assume that the pressure at the discharge or the condensing pressure is increased from Pd to P’d. It will have effects as follows: The compressor work requirement is increased to: C B C B(h - h ) (h - h )′′ > The refrigerating effect is reduced to: B A B A(h - h ) (h - h )′′ < Therefore, the increase in discharge pressure results in lower COP. Hence, the discharge pressure should be kept as low as possible depending upon the temperature of the cooling medium available. (e) Effect of Volumetric Efficiency of Compressor: pd CDISCHARGEC' P PS B" B' B VC V2 V V1 SUCTION Fig.6.5.4(e). Effect of volumetric efficiency
  • 8. Refrigeration Cycles Prof. U.S.P. Shet , Prof. T. Sundararajan and Prof. J.M . Mallikarjuna Indian Institute of Technology Madras The factors like clearance volume, pressure drop through discharge and suction values, leakage of vapor along the piston and superheating of cold vapor due to contact with hot cylinder walls, affects the volume of the vapor actually pumped by the compressor. The volumetric efficiency of a compressor is defined as; vol Actual mass of vapor drawn at suction conditions η = Theoritical mass that can be filled in the displacement volume Figure 6.5.4(e) represents the p-v diagram of a compressor. Now, during suction stroke B”–B, the vapor filled in clearance space at pressure Pd expands along C’-B’ and the suction valve opens only when the pressure has dropped down to pS. Therefore, the actual amount of vapor sucked during the suction stroke is (v1 - v2) while the stroke volume is (v1 - vc). Volumetric efficiency decreases the refrigeration effect.
