Abstract

The refrigeration equipment currently available is a split AC with some capacity. One of the processes that occur in cooling machine is condensation which produces water and hot refrigerant. Inside the condenser, some of refrigerant heat must be removed with the help of a blower to avoid the damage of compressor. Seeing this, the condensed water from the evaporator will be reused as a cooling fluid. The purpose of this research is to determine the coefficient of performance (COP) and electrical consumption without and using an additional condenser cooling system. The test was carried out by modified condenser split AC 1 Pk R-410a by installing 9 nozzles, a DC pump where the 3 nozzles horizontal and 3 nozzles vertical. The independent variables of this test are the 3 nozzles horizontal position and the spraying time is 1, 2 and 3 minutes. The room used is a 6 x 6 x 3.5 m as cooling load. From the results, it was found that there was an increase in the performance of the cooling machine with the addition of a cooling system of about 34%, while in the electrical consumption, there was a slight decrease about 5%.
