Ques. The condition of refrigerant after passing through the condenser in a vapour compression system is – 

  1. Wet vapour
  2. Saturated liquid
  3. Superheated vapour
  4. Dry saturated vapour

Click here for the answer

Ans. Saturated Liquid

Explanation: The condition of refrigerant after passing through the condenser in a vapour compression system is saturated Liquid

Ques. In actual air-conditioning applications for R-12 and R-22, and operating at a condenser temperature of 40° C and an evaporator temperature of 5° C, the heat rejection factor is about – 

  1. 1
  2. 1.25
  3. 2.15
  4. 5.12

Click here for the answer

Ans. b. 1.25

Explanation: Heat rejection factor = (Heat rejected/Heat absorbed).

Here, COP = 7.942.

Implies, Q(rejected) = 1.12*Q (absorbed).

Hence, HRF = 1.12.
