Abstract

Indicators of ammonia refrigeration plant (ARP) depend on the efficiency of the condenser. The most affect the ARP with air condenser ammonia. They are designed with completely definite specified parameters that characterize his work in design mode. Created methodology for calculating the main indicators of a large condenser ARP when using it in the design conditions. It is allowed to analyze the characteristics of ARP when the ambient temperature changes. The results of calculations of a number of characteristics of the ammonia refrigeration plant showed good convergence with experimental data.
