An ammonia ice plant operates on simple saturation cycle at the following temperatures:
Condensing temperature = 40 0C
Evaporation temperature = –15 0C
It produces 10 tonnes of ice per day at –50C from water at 300C. If the COP of the system is 5, determine : 20
- Capacity of the refrigeration plant in tones of refrigeration
- Mass flow rate of the refrigerant, kg/min
- Isentropic discharge enthalpy, kJ/kg
Take :
Cp = 4.187 kJ/kg-K for water = 2.000 kJ/kg-K for ice
Latent heat of fussion of ice = 335 kJ/kg
Sensible enthalpy at 40 0C = 6000 kJ/kg
Enthalpy of sat. vapour at –15 0C = 1675 kJ/kg
