Multi-stage water and ammonia refrigeration systems in the light of ozone hole problem.

Author(s) : PRASAD M.

Summary

Emphasis on the use of water and ammonia for air conditioning and other applications. The thermodynamic analyses of the two-stage and three-stage water refrigeration systems render their COPs higher than those of the commonly used R11 and R12 centrifugals for air conditioning applications. If a two-stage ammonia refrigeration is employed in cold storage, about 9% of energy may be saved. The vapour-absorption system operating on primary energy proves to be superior to the electrically powered vapour-compression refrigeration as the latter adds to the environmental warming over twice as compared to the former.
