TL;DR Summary
I caanot understand what is happnening in chapter 6 part 7. The book has two equations for work done in cycle of a refrigerator
1706368789698.png


I guess the first one is wrong.
Because in this cycle we have ##|Q_H| > |Q_L|## then ## |Q_L| - |Q_H| ## is negative and caanot be equal with ##|W|##.

Am I right?
