Assignment # 1

The document summarizes the key components and applications of refrigeration systems. It describes the four main components: [1] the condenser that liquefies the refrigerant gas, [2] the compressor that increases the vapor's pressure and temperature, [3] the evaporator that absorbs heat to transform the liquid refrigerant into a gas, and [4] the expansion device that decreases the refrigerant's pressure and temperature before entering the evaporator. It then lists several common applications of refrigeration including in household appliances, air conditioning, food storage, electricity production, and various industrial processes.

Refrigeration System
The system in which heat transfer from a low-temperature

region to a high temperature one requires special devices called refrigerators

(A)

Component of Refrigeration system


There are four basic components of a refrigeration cycle. That

are given below.

 Condenser
 Compressor
 Evaporator
 Expansion Device

(B)
Condenser
Condensation changes gas to a liquid form.
Its main purpose is to liquefy the refrigerant gas sucked by the
compressor from the evaporator.
As condensation begins, the heat will flow from the condenser into the
air, only if the condensation temperature is higher than that of the
atmosphere.
The high-pressure vapour in the condenser will be cooled to become a
liquid refrigerant again, this time with a little heat.
The liquid refrigerant will then flow from the condenser to a liquid
line

Compressor
The compressor’s use is to pull the low-temperature and low-pressure
vapour from the evaporator, through a suction line.
Once the vapour is drawn, it will be compressed.
This will cause the vapour’s temperature to rise. Its main function is
to transform a low-temperature vapour in to a high-temperature
vapour, to increase pressure.
Vapour is released from the compressor into a discharge line.

Evaporator
An evaporator is used to turn any liquid material into gas.
In this process, heat is absorbed.
The evaporator transfers heat from the refrigerated space into a heat
pump through a liquid refrigerant, which boils in the evaporator at a
low-pressure.
In achieving heat transfer, the liquid refrigerant should be lower than
the goods being cooled.
After the transfer, liquid refrigerant is drawn by the compressor from
the evaporator through a suction line.
Liquid refrigerant will be in vapour form upon leaving the evaporator
coil.
Expansion Device
Commonly placed before the evaporator and at the end of the liquid
line, the expansion valve is reached by the liquid refrigerant after it
has been condensed.
Reducing the pressure of the refrigerant, its temperature will decrease
to a level below its atmosphere.
This liquid will then be pumped into the evaporator.

Application of refrigeration

 District Cooling:
1. It is used in household refrigerators and freezers.
2. It is used in air conditioning system.
3. It is used in water cooler.
4. It is used in ice candy plant.
5. It is used in coal storage plant.

 Electricity Production:
6. It is used in the production of Electricity to maintain the
temperature of inlet air in the turbine.

 Chemical & Petrochemical:


7. It is used to liquefy the gases Oxygen, Nitrogen, Propane and
Methane.
8. Its is used to maintain different processes in Oil Refineries,
Chemical Plant and Petrochemical Plant.

 Pharmaceutical:
9. It is used to maintain the temperature in Pharmaceutical industry.

 Food & Beverages:


10.It is used in Meat and Dairy farming process.

 Data Centres:
11.It is used in Data Storage houses where heat generated is need to
be removed.
