The refrigerant is R 134 a The saturation temperatures in the evaporator and condenser are respectively -20°C and 40°C. The plant includes a heat exchanger in which the saturated liquid leaving the condenser is sub cooled to 3 0°C by the saturated vapour leaving the evaporator. The sub cooled liquid is then throttled to -20 °C before entering the e and the vapour leaving the heat exchanger is compressed isentropi cally to th pressure.
