WATER CHILLING PLANT

RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS:

1. To study all components used in refrigeration system.
2. To study the Vapor compression Refrigeration cycle.
3. To determine the Refrigeration Effect, Work Input, Actual C.O.P.,

Carnot C.O.P., Theoretical C.O.P., Relative C.O.P., Ton of

Refrigeration, and Plant Efficiency.

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP:
