INSTRUCTION: Solve for R-22 and compare the COP.

Problem 2.6
Compare the ideal COP of R-134a and R-22 at an evaporating temperature of 40°F with
20°F superheat and a condensing temperature of 120°F with 15°F subcooling with the actual
compressor COPs calculated from the manufacturer’s performance tables.
SOLUTION
For R-134a using the P-h diagram:

P-h DIAGRAM T-S DIAGRAM

@ te = 40°F (~50 psia) and SH = 20°F, t1 = 60°F and h1 = 113 Btu/lb


To find point 2, follow a line of constant entropy (s) to p =190 psia (saturated
pressure for tc = 120°F), h2 = 126 Btu/lb.
To find point 3, follow a line of constant pressure (p = 190 psia) to the left, cross
the saturated liquid line, and go to a point 15°F below the saturated
temperature (120°F), or t3 = 105°F, h3 = 47 Btu/lb.
To find point 4, follow a line of constant enthalpy (h) downward to te = 40°F (~50
psia), h4 = h3 = 47 Btu/lb.

From Table 2.3
@ te = 40°F and tc = 120°F
qr = 25.9 MBtu/h
wc = 2.27 kW.

Thus, EER = = 11.4 MBtu/kWh = 11.4/Wh and

COP = 3.34
For R-22, using the P-h diagram:

P-h DIAGRAM T-S DIAGRAM

Point 1: (te = 40°F), p1 ≈ 83 psia, t1 = 60°F, and h1 = 111 Btu/lb.


Point 2: (tc = 120°F), p2 ≈ 275 psia, t2 ≈ 160°F, and h2 = 124 Btu/lb.
Point 3: (tc = 120°F), p3 ≈ 275 psia, t3 = 105°F, and h3 = 42 Btu/lb.
Point 4: t4 = te = 40°F, p4 = p1 ≈ 83 psia, h4 = h3 = 42 Btu/lb

From Table 2.4
@ te = 40°F and tc = 120°F
qr = 39.1 MBtu/h
wc = 3.22 kW.

Thus, EER = = 12.14 MBtu/kWh = 12.14 /Wh and

3.412 𝐵𝑡𝑢/𝑊ℎ 3.412 𝐵𝑡𝑢/𝑊ℎ

COP = 3.56
