Abstract

The aim of our project is to improve the Coefficients of Performance (COP). It is to require that
compressor work decrease and refrigerant effect increase. The purpose of compressor in VCR system is to evaluate
the pressure of refrigerant, but refrigerant leave the compressor with comparatively high velocity which may causes
splashing of liquid refrigerant in the condenser tube, liquid lump & damage to condenser by erosion. It is needed to
convert this kinetic energy in to pressure energy by using diffuser and other benefit is power consumption is less for
same refrigerating effect, so performance is improve. The size of the condenser will also reduce due to more heat
transfer, so cost of the condenser will be reduces. We also observe so many other difficulties in the VCR system
when R 22 refrigerant is use. So our future plane is to reduce this difficulty by using alternative refrigerant ( R 410)
final shows which is best and suitable in VCR system.
