efficiency is 88%. An Ammonia refrigeration system operates between -35⁰C and 0⁰C with
saturated liquid entering the expansion valve and saturated vapour entering the compressor
whose volumetric efficiency if 85%. The R12 evaporator serves as the condenser for the
Ammonia. For the ideal cycle and 10 kW of refrigeration, find: a) The displacement rate of each
compressor, b) the total power required for compression efficiencies of 85%.
