Propane refrigeration cycle
A single-stage vapor-compression refrigeration loop: propane vapor is compressed, condensed to subcooled liquid, throttled through a valve, and superheated back to vapor in the evaporator before recycling — a small makeup feed and purge close the mass balance (inspired by ChemSep's Refrigeration_* reference cases).

A single-stage vapor-compression refrigeration loop using ammonia — the classic industrial (rather than HFC) refrigerant — condensed to subcooled liquid, throttled through a valve, and superheated back to vapor in the evaporator before recycling (inspired by ChemSep's Refrigeration_Ammonia-30C reference case).
