Refrigeration is a process of maintaining the temperature lower than the surroundings. It can be achieved with the help of components of refrigerator and the refrigerant. Refrigerant is a substance maintaining the temperature lower than the atmosphere. VCR is widely applied in daily as well as in large scale industry to produce a refrigeration effect. The diffuser is a passage that will increase the pressure energy by changing the kinetic energy at the inlets. The main objective of this project work is to design a water cooler test rig system with two different angled diffusers of divergence angle of 13°, 16° are planned for the equivalent inlet and outlet dia. In this project we are evaluating the various constraints such as refrigeration effect & coefficient of performance (COP) with and without diffusers at condenser inlet. The 16° divergence angle of diffuser given the better coefficient of performance was 23.15.
