Enrichment of Cop Of Vapour Compression Refrigeration System By Using Diffuser And Nozzle

Abstract

this investigational analysis exemplifies the design and test of diffuser at compressor inlet and nozzles at condenser outlet and expansion valve outlet in VCR with the help of Rl34a refrigerant. The diffuser with divergence angle of l5°, l7° and the nozzle with convergent angle l5°, l7° are designed for same inlet and outlet diameters. Initially diffusers are tested at compressor inlet diffuser is used with inlet diameter equal to exit tube diameter of evaporator and outlet tube diameter is equal to suction tube diameter of the compressor. Diffuser helps to increases the pressures of the refrigerant before entering the compressor it will be helps to reduces the compression work and achieve higher performance of the vapour compression refrigeration system. Then nozzles are testing at condenser outlet and expansion valve outlet, where as nozzle inlet diameter equal to discharging tube diameter of condenser and outlet diameter equal to inlet diameter of expansion valve. Extra pressure drop in the nozzle helped to accomplish higher performance of the vapour compression refrigeration system. The system is analyze using the Ist and IInd laws of thermodynamics, to resolve the refrigerating effect, the compressor work input, coefficient of performance(COP)..
