This paper aims to improve the coefficient of performance of the system. To improve the coefficient of performance, it should be noted that compressor work should decrease and the refrigerating effect should increase. Modifications in the condenser are meant to increase the degree of sub-cooling of the refrigerant, which increases the refrigerating effect, or more cooling water is required in the condenser. The purpose of a compressor in a vapor compression system is to elevate the pressure of the refrigerant, but the refrigerant leaves the compressor with comparatively high velocity, which may cause splashing of liquid refrigerant in the condenser tube, liquid hump, and damage to the condenser by erosion. It is needed to convert this kinetic energy to pressure energy by using a diffuser. By using a diffuser, power consumption is less for the same refrigerating effect, so performance is improved.
