Popis: The principal objective of the paper is to modify the conventional vapor compression refrigeration system by connecting heat exchangers thereby heating and cooling of water is done simultaneously. The vapor refrigerant is supplied to the hermetic sealed compressor where the refrigerant gets compressed to a temperature of 100-120◦ C. The compressor is connected to a counter flow heat exchanger. Experimentation is carried out to design and manufacture a modified vapor compression refrigeration system. The main parameters considered during the design are connection of a compressor to a hermetically sealed compressor, keeping polyurethane foam as insulating material, adjusting the capillary tube and finned evaporators. The operations carried during the fabrication of equipment are bending, brazing and arc welding process. After the experimental setup has been fabricated the system is checked for the performance by using refrigerants R-22 and R-407.The results are plotted between heating temperatures, cooling temperatures with respect to time in minutes.
