1. INTRODUCTION

The Air Conditioning Trainer works on Vapour compression Refrigeration cycle using R 22 as a refrigerant.
The Trainer is having a hermetically sealed compressor, which sucks cold refrigerant vapour from the
evaporator. The vapour is compressed to higher pressure and consequently to higher temperature in the
compressor. The high pressure and high temperature refrigerant then enters the condenser, where its latent
heat is removed by rejecting the heat to the air passing over the forced convection condenser. The liquefied
refrigerant passes through drier (where any residual moisture is absorbed) and through rota meter (where
flow is measured) and enters the expansion device. In the expansion device, the refrigerant is throttled to a
lower pressure and as a result, the temperature of the refrigerant also reduced. This low temperature wet
vapour flows through the evaporator, which is a forced convection air-cooled evaporator. Here, the
refrigerant picks up heat from air passing over it and gains heat; it evaporates and enters the compressor.
This cycle repeats.
In addition to basic system components, many controls such as overload protector, HP/LP cut-out are
provided to safeguard the system against any malfunctioning. To accomplish psychometric processes, heating
elements and humidification arrangement is provided. To vary the airflow, air dampers are provided.
For measurement of pressures dial type pressure gauges are fitted and to record temperatures digital
temperature scanner is incorporated.
