Advantages of multistage compression are:

1) Reduced work of compression per kg of refrigerant

2) COP increases

3) Wall thickness of L.P. cylinder is reduced, since it has to withstand lower pressures. This makes compressor lighter and cheaper.

4) Heat removal during condensation is reduced hence size of condenser is …
