A VCRS system having a capacity of 1 tonne of refrigeration operation between -28°C and 26°C The refrigerant is sub-cooled by 4°C before entering the expansion valve and the vapour is superheated by 5°C before leaving the evaporator. The machine has a six-cylinder single-acting compressor with a stroke equal to 1.25 times the bore. It has a clearance of 3% of the stroke volume. The volumetric efficiency in percentage is _______ [up to 2 decimal] use following table
