    The document contains two multi-part problems regarding ammonia refrigeration systems. For the first problem, the summary calculates that (a) a single compressor in the original system would require 59.89 kW of power and (b) a revised two-stage compression system with intercooling would require 56.82 kW of total power. For the second problem, the summary finds that (a) a single compressor system would again require 59.89 kW and (b) a two-compressor system with flash gas removal but no intercooling would require a total power of 55.98 kW.

    CHAPTER 4

    1. In an ammonia refrigeration system, the capacity is 210 kW at a temperature of 20 C. The vapor


    from the evaporator is pumped by one compressor to the condensing pressure of 1431 kPa. Later,
    the system was revised to a two-stage compression operating on the cycle shown below with
    intercooling but no removal of flash at 555 kPa.
    (a) Calculate the power required by the single compressor in the original system.
    (b) Calculate the total power required by the two compressors in the revised system.

    2. An ammonia refrigeration system has a capacity of 210 kW at an evaporating temperature of 20 C


    when the condensing pressure is 1431 kPa.
    (a) Compute the power requirement for a system with a single compression.
    (b) Compute the total power required by the two compressors in the system shown below where
    there is no intercooling but there is flash-gas removal.

    CHAPTER 4
    Solution:
    (a) same as (a) of (1).
    W& = 59.89 kW
