Abstract An experimental set up is made for comparative analysis of vapour compression mini ice cream plant by applying different size capillary tubes. The experiments were performed and results were recorded for comparing the best unit. The capillary tube was formed in coil shape having different inner diameters such as 0.79 and 1.12 mm. The pressure at suction and discharge of capillary were recorded to evaluate the cycle COP, power consumed, mass flow of refrigerant and compression pressure ratio. The increase of coiled inner diameter significantly affects the working parameter. The COP of experiment no. 2 was found to be more than the experiment no. 1. The mass flow of refrigerant for experiment no. 2 was found to be optimum than experiment no. 1 and compression pressure ratio for experiment no. 1 was found to be optimum as compared with experiment no. 2.
