So, the performance of internal heat exchanger has a minor influence on system optimization at low and moderate gas cooler exit temperatures. As mentioned earlier, the variation in the cooler outlet temperature has a significant impact on the optimal design conditions. The maximum system COP increases sharply with a decrease in the cooler outlet temperature as is evident from Fig. 5. For an evaporator temperature of 0 8C and an internal heat exchanger effectiveness of 60%, the system COP gets almost doubled with exit temperature falling from 50 to 308C and the corresponding required optimum pressure decreases from 122 to 74 bar. 5.1. Correlations for optimum conditions The system COP depends on evaporator temperature, Fig. 4. Variation of maximum system COP and optimum discharge pressure with evaporator temperature. Fig. 5.

Moreover, isentropic efficiency of the com- pressor is exclusively dependent on compressor design. Hence ignoring these two (his;comp and 1) effects the optimum condition dependence reduces to its functional form expressed as: COPmax 1⁄4 f ðtev; t3Þ; popt 1⁄4 f ðtev; t3Þ ð28Þ Fig. 6.
