Which of the following is the result of a reduction in operating pressure in the Air refrigeration cycle?
A
decrease in C.O.P.
B
always decreases
C
increase in C.O.P.
D
no change in C.O.P.
Correct Answer: increase in C.O.P.
As the operating pressure reduces, the change in work done decreases. Hence the C.O.P of refrigeration increases.
