What is Refrigeration?
Vibration less.
Horizontal type.
The most commonly used type
Receiver may provide after condenser.
Heads may be removable.
Vertical type.
Found primarily on Large plants NH3
as refrigerant.
Less floor space.
Easy cleaning
Shell-and-coil condenser.
Uses a helical water coil in the shell instead of tubes.
Double – pipe condenser.
Heat transfer rate low.
Consists of two concentric tubes (water- inner
refrigerant- annular) .
evaporative condenser.
The discharge gas from the compressor condenses inside a bank of
tubes over which water is sprayed.
WBT of air is used for heat transfer.
Air cooled condensers
All low capacity units used ACC because of
their simplicity.
A finned coil over which air blown and
refrigerant condensed in the tubes.
Require no water.
No corrosion.
DBT controls the condensing temperature.
Expansion devices
Capillary tube.
Constant pressure expansion valve.
Thermostatic expansion valve.
Float valve.
Thermal electric expansion valve.
Capillary tube.
A Capillary tube ia a tube 2 to 20 ft long with
inside dia. 0.025 to 0.090 inches.
It serves at lower TR.
The pressure drop because of friction and
acceleration in the coil.
No moving parts and inexpensive.
Susceptive to clogging by foreign matter.
Designed only one operating condition causes
starving and flooding.
Thermostatic expansion valve
Superheat in the
evaporator controls the
valve.
Both metering and
throttling are done.
Power fluid actuates
the valve seat.
Too large results
hunting and flood out.
Cont. pr.expansion valve
(automatic)
Operates with senses the
evaporator pressure.
Evaporator pr increase
results the wide valve
opening ie. Allows
flooding.
Evaporator Pr lower
results partial valve
opening. Ie. allows
starving.
Thermal electric expansion
valve.
Evaporators.
Accessories
Capacity control methods.
Sl.no Method Application Remarks
3. Hot gas by- pass Energy inefficient. Less costly precise control possible.
Not favor due to discharge temp.

4 Condenser pressure Energy inefficient. Less costly non precise not favor for the
same reason
5 Speed (varying the speed of comp.) All types Energy efficient costly.
