A refrigeration system of 60 kW capacity at an evaporator temperature of – 40°C and a condenser temperature of 20°C is needed in a food storage locker. The refrigerant R134a is sub-cooled by 10°C before entering the expansion valve. The vapour is 0.98 dry as it leaves the evaporator coil. The compression in the compressor is of adiabatic type.
