ABSTRACT
Vapor compression refrigeration cycle integrated with the water heater
has been designed, fabricated and tested. The main objective of the fabrication
and testing of the evaporator is to improve the efficiency of ordinary vapor
compression refrigeration cycle. Improving efficiency is one of the solutions to
help the Indonesian government in reducing the uses of fossil. Utilizing waste heat
from condenser is proposed to improve the efficiency.The waste heat drawn from
the condenser is not affecting the work of evaporator to condition the room.
Analytical calculations such as cooling load calculation and the main dimensions
of the evaporator have been performed. In addition the evaporator work in the
testing room with and without cool water heaters proves that the cooling workis
not disrupted by the evaporator heating water in the vapor compression cycle.
The results obtained from this research are as follows. The average room
temperature before the vapor compression refrigeration cycle installed is about
28oC, after the installation the average room temperature is 22oC. The main
conclusion of this project is that the water heater does not affect the evaporator in
conditioning the room temperature.
