EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF ACTUAL VAPOUR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Refrigeration refers to the removal of heat from substances under controlled conditions. Reductions are included in the process. Keeping the body temperature and heat lower than the normal temperature of its surroundings. In commercial and domestic use, food products are kept cold. Vapor Compression Refrigeration System (VCRS) is used for cooling and heating. In this paper we are going to calculate the coefficient of performance (cop) of refrigeration in which we are going to use refrigerant. It is used the refrigerant we will be using is R134a also known as tetrafluoroethene. The refrigerant used is R134a which is eco-friendly. The vapor compression process consists of four stages (expansion, compression, condensation and evaporation) which help to transfer heat for refrigeration. Coefficient of performance is very important to find good refrigerant in refrigeration. Refrigerant should be low boiling point, high critical temperature and High latent heat of vaporization which make these properties as good refrigerant. The value of vapor compression refrigeration system by using refrigerant in normal temperature and pressure condition.
