Abstract :In this study, the effects of refrigerants and condenser type on the coefficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(COP); of performance value in a two-stage intercooled vapour compression refrigeration system have been investigated experimentally with the designed device. There is a total of eight configurations designed for experiments, and these are compared with each other. During the experiments, a copper tube condenser, a micro-channel condenser, and R404A and R449A refrigerants were used in the designed device. The main focus of this study is to investigate the effect of condenser type, refrigerants, and the number of compressors on the COP in a vapor compression refrigeration system. In this study, it was concluded that designs using a micro-channel condenser have a higher COP than designs using a copper tube condenser, and the most efficient design for the system is the one using the micro-channel condenser and working with R449A refrigerant.
