I: Objectives
II: Theory
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space
or from a substance for the purpose of lowering the temperature. In the
industrialized nations and affluent regions in the developing world,
refrigeration is chiefly used to store foodstuffs at low temperatures, thus
inhibiting the destructive action of bacteria, yeast, and mold. Many
perishable products can be frozen, permitting them to be kept for months
and even years with little loss in nutrition or flavour or change in
appearance. Air-conditioning, the use of refrigeration for comfort cooling, has
also become widespread in more developed nations.
In method and cycle used in refrigeration, one of the most widely used
for air-conditioning of large public buildings used in domestic and commercial
refrigerators is the standard vapor-compression cycle. It is one of the many
refrigeration cycles available for use.

Brine Quantity = 13.5 li of water + 3.05 li of salt
= 16.55 li of brine solution
1.2 Mass of Air
Mass of air= density of air x volume
Where:
Density of air= 1.31228 kg per cubic meter
Volume of the brine tank= (0.350m x 0.225m x 0.102m) =

Note: The initial and final temperature of brine and air, the
transmission load and air infiltration values were computed and can be seen

4. Theoretical C.O.P
The suction and discharge pressure is recorded for every changed of
temperature of brine. And in order to obtain the theoretical C.O.P, the first
thing that must be done is to get the h1, h2, h3 and h4 of the suction and
discharge pressure per intervals. The h1 is the enthalpy of suction pressure
in saturated vapour. The h1 is obtained through interpolation using the
pressure the Table of Properties of Saturated Liquid and Vapor of R134a, h2 is
the enthalpy of the discharge pressure in superheated vapor and is obtained
using the pressure-enthalpy chart of R134a. Lastly, h3 and h4 are equal to
the enthalpy of discharge pressure at saturated liquid.
The Theoretical C.O.P. is the C.O.P. calculated on the basis of Refrigerating
effect and compressor work obtained from P-H (pressure -enthalpy) diagram.
The theoretical C.O.P is equal to the difference of enthalpy h1 and h4 divided
by the difference of enthalpy h2 and h1. Since there are so many intervals,
the theoretical C.O.P per intervals is divided to the numbers of intervals to
get the averaged theoretical C.O.P.

5. Compressor Work vs. Brine Temperature
The suction and discharge pressure is recorded for every changed of
the temperature of brine. The h1 is the enthalpy of the suction pressure in
saturated vapor while the h2 is the enthalpy of the discharge pressure in
superheated vapor. The h1 is achieved through interpolation using the Table
of Properties of Saturated Liquid and Vapor of R134a while h2 is achieved
using the pressure- enthalpy chart of R134a. The change in enthalpy is the
difference between h2 and h1.

For brine level:
Q= U x A x t
Where:
Q= Heat gain, W
U= Overall heat transfer coefficient, W/ M2 K
A= Area inside the brine tank (brine level)

Where:
Q= Heat gain, W
U= Overall heat transfer coefficient, W/ M2 K
A= Area inside the brine tank (air space)

1.3 Temperature
The temperatures are attained by the used of digital
thermometer with two probes. The first probe is immersed on the brine
solution while the second probe is on the air space inside the tank though
the readings on the air space starts at 26 0C up to 11 0C. Thus, the
temperature from where the readings of the temperature of air stopped till
-40C was assumed.
Ambient temperature= 320C
Initial Brine temperature= 260C
Final Brine temperature= -40C
Initial Air Temperature= 310C
Final Air Temperature= 230C
2. Air Infiltration
2.1 Sensible Heat
Qs= 1.1 x CFM x t
Where:
Qs= sensible heat loss from infiltration, W
CFM= air infiltration flow rate, ft3/ min.
t= temperature difference between outside and inside air of the
brine tank
Solving for CFM:
CFM= ACH x V/ 60
Where:
ACH=air change per hour
V= volume of the brine tank
The brine tank is considered as a tight construction and it is
estimated that the cover has been removed for 7 times.
ACH= 0.5 x 7= 3.5
V= (0.350m x 0.225m x 0.102m) = 0.0080325 M3 0.28357 ft3
Therefore,
CFM= 3.5 x 0.28357 ft3/ 60= 0.016542 ft3/ min.
Note: The latent heat loss is not included in the calculation of
cooling load since there are no reliable values of the inside and outside air
humidity ratio.
The total cooling load is equal to the sum of the
transmission load in the brine level, transmission load in the air space and
the air infiltration.

range and the evaporator temperature in higher range. As the water
changed in temperature, at first the evaporator temperature is constant
while the suction temperature increases. Then, the suction and evaporator
temperature remains constant up until the water reaches 7C, the suction
temperature decrease a little while the evaporator temperature decreases
rapidly.
2. Discharge Temperature vs. Compressor Temperature
The discharge pressure and compressor temperature is recorded

The graph shows the relationship between discharge and

temperature starts in lower. As the water changed in temperature, the
discharge and the compressor temperature increases. Then, the discharge
temperature begins to decrease and so the compressor temperature. The
initial discharge temperature is greater than the final reading by a little
difference while the initial compressor temperature is less than the final
reading by a huge difference.
3. Compressor Temperature vs. Condenser Temperature
The compressor and condenser temperature is recorded for the
every changed of the temperature of water inside the tank. The compressor
temperature is the temperature reading after the refrigerant pass on the
compressor while the condenser temperature is the temperature reading
after the refrigerant pass on the condenser.

CONDENSER TEMPERATURE, C
The graph shows the relationship between compressor and

starts in lower range. As the water changed in temperature, the compressor

becomes constant. Until it reaches the final, the compressor and condenser
temperature decreases in value.
4. Expansion valve Temperature vs. Evaporator Temperature
The expansion valve and evaporator temperature is recorded for
the every changed of the temperature of water inside the tank. The
expansion valve temperature is the temperature reading after the refrigerant
pass on the expansion valve while the evaporator temperature is the
temperature reading after the refrigerant pass on the evaporator.

EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE, C
The graph shows the relationship between expansion valve and
evaporator temperature. Initially, the expansion valve temperature starts in
a lower range compare to the evaporator temperature. The expansion valve
temperature starts to increase in the middle until it reaches the final where it
decreases rapidly. While in the evaporator temperature, where it starts in
constant range and decreases little by little in the middle until it reaches final
where it decreases rapidly.
5. Temperature of Water vs. Evaporator Temperature
The temperature of water is recorded for the every changed of it inside
the tank. While the evaporator temperature is recorded for the every
changed of the temperature of water. The evaporator temperature is the
temperature reading after the refrigerant pass on the evaporator.

EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE, C
The graph shows the relationship between the temperature of
water and evaporator temperature. Initially, the water temperature and the
evaporator temperature starts in a higher range. The temperature of water
decreases little by little while the evaporator temperature at first maintains
the value of its initial temperature. Until it reaches the finals, the
temperature of water still decreases little by little while the evaporator
temperature decreases rapidly.
