A refrigeration system is to be designed to maintain the temperature in the range of -15°C to -5°C, while the outside temperature varies from 15°C to 25°C. The total thermal load on the storage unit is given as 20 kW. Obtain an initial design for the vapor compression refrigeration system shown below. For safe operation and other factors, such as additional energy transfer, design the system using a safety factor of 1.3 such that Q₁ = 26 kW. The compressor efficiency could range from 60 to 80 percent. This is to be completed individually. It would be highly unlikely for multiple students to select all the same design parameters in part (a).
