condensing and evaporating temperatures, (b) compare the actual and expected
performance, and (c) suggest what might be done to obtain the design
conditions.

15.11 Consider an ordinary single-stage vapor-compression air-conditioning system.
Because of clogged filters the air flow over the evaporator is gradually
reduced to a very low level. Explain how the evaporator and compressor will
be affected if the system continues to operate.
Answer:
Air flow over the evaporator when reduced to a very low level will indicate that the
compressor is not loaded and also indicates that the evaporator is not transferring the
expected quantity of heat to the refrigerant.
15.12 A vapor-compression cycle is subject to short periods of very light load; it is
not practical to shut the system down. During these periods of light load,
moisture condenses from the air flowing over the evaporator and freezes.
Suggest a modification to the system to prevent this condition.

15. REFRIGERATION

Answer:
The system can be modified by reducing the suction pressure and evaporator
temperature.
15.13 A vapor-compression cycle is subject to occasional overload that leads to the
tripping of circuit breakers. Explain how the system can be modified to
prevent compressor overload without shutting the system off.
Answer:
Add an evaporator pressure regulator to maintain a relatively constant minimum
pressure in the evaporator. Because most of the evaporator surface is subjected to
two-phase refrigerant a constant minimum temperature will also be maintained.
Evaporator pressure is sensed internally and balanced by spring loaded diagphragm.
When evaporator pressure falls below a set value, the valve will close, restricting the
flow of refrigerant so that evaporator pressure will rise, therefore prevent freezing.
15.14 A saturated liquid aqua-ammonia solution at 220 F and 200 psia is throttled to
a pressure of 10 psia. Find (a) the temperature after the throttling process, and
(b) the relative portions of liquid and vapor in the mixture after throttling.
Solution:

15.15 A solution of ammonia and water at 180 F, 100 psia, and with a concentration
of 0.25 lbm ammonia per lbm of solution is heated at constant pressure to a
temperature of 280 F. The vapor is then separated from the liquid and cooled
to a saturated liquid at 100 psia. What are the temperature and concentration of
the saturated liquid?

Solution:

15.16 It is proposed to use hot water at 180 F (82 C) from a solar collector system to
operate a simple absorption cycle. Compute the maximum possible coefficient
of performance, assuming an environment temperature of 100 F (38 C) and an
air-cooled evaporator with the air temperature at 75 F (24 C).
Solution:
Equation 15-32
T (T T )
(COP )max = e g o
Tg (To Te )
English Units:
Te = 75 + 459.67 = 534.67 F
To = 100 + 459.67 = 559.67 F
Tg = 180 + 459.67 = 639.67 F

(COP )max = 534.67(639.67 559.67) = 2.675

639.67(559.67 534.67 )
SI Units:
Te = 24 + 273.15 = 297.15 K
To = 38 + 273.15 = 311.15 K
Tg = 82 + 459.67 = 355.15 K

15. REFRIGERATION

(COP )max = 297.15(355.15 311.15) = 2.63

15.17 Saturated water vapor at 50 F is mixed in a steady flow process with a
saturated lithium bromide=water solution having a concentration of 0.60 lbm
LiBr per lbm of mixture. The mass of the liquid solution is five times the mass
of the water vapor mixed. The mixing process occurs at constant pressure.
Find (a) the concentration of the resulting mixture, and (b) the heat that must
be removed, in Btu per lbm of the total mixture, if saturated liquid solution is
produced.
