  2. COEFFICIENT OF PERFORMANCEOF REFRIGERATION CYCLE • The coefficient of performance is an index of performance of a thermodynamic cycle or a thermal system. Because the COP can be greater than 1, COP is used instead of thermal efficiency. The coefficient of performance can be used for the analysis of the following: • A refrigerator that is used to produce a refrigeration effect only, that is, COPref • A heat pump in which the heating effect is produced by rejected heat COPhp • A heat recovery system in which both the refrigeration effect and the heating effect are used at thesame time, COPhr

  3. Refrigeration processes of a vapor compression refrigerating system • Evaporation. In this process, the refrigerant evaporates at a lower temperature than that of its surroundings, absorbing its latent heat of vaporization. • Superheating. Saturated refrigerant vapor is usually superheated to ensure that liquid refrigerant does not flow into the compressor. • Compression. Refrigerant is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature for condensation. • Condensation. Gaseous refrigerant is condensed to liquid form by being desuperheated, then condensed, and finally subcooled, transferring its latent heat of condensation to a coolant. • Throttling and expansion. The higher-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled to the lower evaporating pressure and is ready for evaporation.

  9. MULTISTAGE VAPOR COMPRESSION SYSTEMS - interstage pressure Interstage pressure is usually set so that the compression ratio at each stage is nearly the same for higher COPs. For a two-stage compound system, interstage pressure pi, psia (kPa abs.), can be calculated as: For a multistage vapor compression system with z stages, the compression ratio Rcom for each stage can be calculated as where pcon condensing pressure, psia (kPa abs.) pev evaporating pressure, psia (kPa abs.)
