Question 3 A vapour compression refrigerator using R134a works between temperature limits of -5 °C and 40 °C. The refrigerant leaves the compressor dry saturated. (a) Discuss which factors must be considered when selecting an appropriate refrigerant? (b) Calculate the refrigeration effect and the coefficient of performance if: (i) The refrigerant leaves the condenser saturated. (ii) The refrigerant is subcooled to 20 °C before entering the throttle valve.
