Refrigeration
 Vapour Compression Refrigeration
 Refrigeration is a process of removal of heat from a
substance at a temperature lower than the
surrounding with the aid of external work.
 In a refrigeration system, the rate at which the heat is
absorbed in a cycle from the interior space to be
cooled is called Refrigerating Effect.
Refrigeration
*
*In a refrigerator, a medium called Refrigerant
continuously extracts the heat from the
refrigerator which is to be kept cool at
temperatures less than the atmosphere &
finally rejects to it.
*Refrigerant acts as a heat exchange medium.
*e.g.- Ammonia, Freon, Methyl Chloride, Carbon
dioxide, Isobutane.
Unit of Refrigeration & Ice making
Capacity
 The capacity of a refrigeration system is expressed in
tons of refrigeration which is the unit of refrigeration.
 A ton of refrigeration is the quantity of heat absorbed
in order to form one ton of ice in 24 hours when the
initial temperature of water is 0°c.
 1 Ton of Refrigeration = 210 kJ/min = 3.5kW
 Ice making capacity is the capacity of the refrigerating
system to make ice beginning from water to solid.
 S.I. unit of ice making capacity is kg/hr.
Coefficient of
Performance
The coefficient of performance(briefly written as C.O.P.)
is the ratio of desired effect to the work input.
Mathematically,
(C.O.P.)refrigerator = Desired effect = Q2____
Work Input Q1-Q2
T1=Tsurr

Refrigerator is a
reversed heat engine.
It extracts Q2 amount of
heat from sink & releases
Q1 amount of heat to
source.
Input—Work(Q1-Q2)
Output– Heat

Advantages
 Very mature technology.
 It has very less running cost.
 It has smaller size for the given capacity of refrigeration.
 It can be employed over a large range of temperatures.
 The C.O.P. is very high.
Disadvantages
 Many systems still use HCFC refrigerants, which contribute
to depletion of ozone layer.
 Initial cost is high.
 The prevention of leakage of refrigerant is the major
problem in vapour compression refrigeration.
