Abstract

In the refrigerant cycle of Air-Conditioning (AC) unit the mainly used cycle is vapor compression cycle. The performance of the refrigerant, named as Coefficient of Performance (COP), need to be improved by using modification. The modification by using multi stage is one of the potential solutions. In the present study, the effect of number of stage to the performance will be explored. A simple vapor compression cycle that is typically used in the AC unit is taken into study. IN the cycle the refrigerant is difluoromethane R32. Three different stages are examined, they are single stage, two-stages, and three stages. The numerical analyses are carried out using commercial Aspen One software. The COP, mass flow rate of the refrigerant and compressor power will be discussed. The result shows that increasing the number of stages related to increasing the COP.
