the pressure of air from low pressure to high
pressure by using some external energy

Definition

Intended Learning Outcome


v To be able to know and understand Multipressure Systems
Multipressure System – is a refrigeration system that has two or
more low-side pressures.
Low-side Pressure – is the pressure of the refrigerant between the
expansion valve and the intake of the compressor.
Flash tank – an equipment
used to separate the vapor
from the liquid.
Intercooling – its main
purpose is to reduce the work
of compression per kilogram
of vapor. Intercooling in a
refrigeration system can be
accomplished with a water-
cooled heat exchanger or by
using refrigerant.

Intended Learning Outcome


v To be able to know and understand Multipressure Systems through
Sample Problems with Two (2) Evaporators and One (1) Compressor
and Two (2) Compressors and One (1) Evaporator
Calculate the power required by a system of one compressor serving of
two evaporators. One evaporator carries a load of 35 kW at 10 C and
the other a load of 70 kW at -5 C. A back-pressure valve reduces the
pressure in the 10 C evaporator to that of the -5 C evaporator. The
condensing temperature is 37 C. The refrigerant is ammonia. What is
the COP?
Calculate the power required in an ammonia system which serves a
210-kW evaporator at -20 C. The system uses two-stage compression
with intercooling and removal of flash gas. The condensing
temperature is 32 C.
