A vapor-compression refrigeration system, using ammonia as the working fluid, has evaporator and condenser pressures of 60 and 200 lbf/in respectively. The refrigerant passes through each heat exchanger with a negligible pressure drop. At the inlet and exit of the compressor, the temperatures are 40°F and 300°F. respectively. The heat transfer rate from the working fluid passing through the condenser is 60,000 Btu/h, and liquid exits at 200 lbf/in2, 90°F. The compressor operates adiabatically. Step 1 * Your answer is incorrect Determine the refrigerating capacity, in tons. 14003:48 tons
