Summary

The feasibility of heat recovery from the condenser of a vapour compression refrigeration system through a Canopus heat exchanger between the compressor and condenser components was studied. The effects of the operating temperatures in the condenser and evaporator for different inlet water temperatures and mass flow rates on the heat recovery output and its distribution over the condenser and the heat exchanger, available outlet water temperature and heat recovery factor were all studied, and optimum operating parameters for feasible heat recovery were ascertained for different working fluids, such as R22, R12, R717 and R500. It was found that a heat recovery factor of the order of 2 and 40% of condenser heat can generally be recovered through the Canopus heat exchanger for a typical set of operating conditions.
