    Interpreting R22 tables - advice sought



    Hello to all
    I would appreciate your advice on a refrigeration problem.
    I am working on a refrigeration assignment and would like a second opinion on the thermodynamic properties that I have selected from the tables.

    The operating conditions are as follows;
    Condensing temperature Tc: 30 degC
    Evaporating temperature Te: 5 degC
    Refrigerant type/tables: DuPont ***** R22. (T-22 SI units-kJ/kg)

    Points on PH diagram:
    a= hf Enthalpy of saturated liquid (kJ/kg)
    b= hf Enthalpy of saturated liquid (kJ/kg)
    c= hg Enthalpy of saturated vapour (kJ/kg)
    d= h Enthalpy of superheated vapour (kJ/kg)

    Values I got from the tables;
    hf at Tc 30 degC = 236.6 (ha = hb = isenthalpic expansion) - page 5
    hg at Te 5degC = 406.8 (hc) - page 4
    h at Tc 30 degC / 1,200kPa = 422.9 9 (hd - isentropic compression) - page 14

    Cooling COP = hc-hb / hd-hc
    Substituting values
    Ans. 10.57

    The cop appears to be very high and I think it may be down to my incorrect interpretation of the tables. I would appreciate your comments on the accuracy of the above values and COP.

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have just done 2 quick calcs using your figures.

    1 with no superheat or subcooling = COP of 9.6

    1 with 8 degC superheat and 5 degC subcooling = COP of 10.02

    So your answer is not a million miles away.
    But it does seem high.

    Hello Taz

    Thanks for taking the time to compare the information. It will help me make further progress.
    If you dont mind, I might request your opinion on a silmilar topic before I complete this project.

    Thanks again
