Hi, i have a refrigeration unit consist of Refrigeration compressor, Refrigerant condenser and Economiser. I want to calculate the overall efficiency of the system. I have the design data (temperature and pressure across everything) but don't know any formula or method to calculate the efficiency.

Hi,
Use the formula of Q = m x Density x Cp x Delt T.
Where
m=mass flow rate (Can be calucalted by taking equal size tapping on outlet line and measure physically) m3/hr.
Cp=Specific heat of used brine solution Kcal/Kg Deg.C.
Delt T=Temperture difference across the chiller in Deg.C.

After getting Q , divide with 3024, can get in TR, compare the value with actual rated capacity.

Acronics,

You might also want to read about 'Coefficient of Performance (COP)' used in context of refrigeration systems.
