The work done to compress the refrigerant vapor is obtained by applying to the compression process:
Work done Wcomp= h2 - h1
Wcomp = Work done during the process
h1 = Enthalpy at inlet to the process,
h2 = Enthalpy at outlet to the process,
This is the work done by compressor per kg of the refrigerant.
