Refrigeration Cycle: Interactive Simulation
Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter. A screencast below explains how to use this simulation.
Simulation: Ordinary Vapor Compression (OVC) Cycle for Refrigerant R-134a
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- How does the COP change when the condenser pressure decreases?
- How does the COP change when the evaporator pressure increases?
