10. Where does the lowest temperature occur in a vapor compression

cycle,
(b) evaporator

11. Choose the correct statement

(b) If operating temperature of system is low, then refrigerant with low boiling
point should be used

12. Most of the domestic refrigerators work on the following refrigeration

system

(a) vapor compression

13. Reducing suction pressure in refrigeration cycle

(e) all of the above.

14. The evolution of heat of solution takes place in ammonia absorption plant
when,
(a) ammonia vapor goes into solution

15. What is the temperature range of the cylinders that store the liquid
refrigerant in an expandable evaporator system?

(c) -20°F to -60°F

16. Define or describe the following refrigeration terms.

a. Refrigeration - cooling a space, substance or system to lower and/or maintain its

temperature below the ambient one (while the removed heat is rejected at a higher
temperature).
b. Absorption - is a system that uses a heat source to provide the energy to drive the
cooling process, releasing heat, then releases the refrigerant and reabsorbs the heat.
c. Adsorption - an adsorber adsorbs the refrigerant vapour into a solid, while in
absorption system, an absorber absorbs the refrigerant vapour into a liquid.
d. Latent heat of vaporization - is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a
thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature
e. Absorber - is a sort of vessel consisting of water that acts as the absorbent, and the
previous absorbed refrigerant.
f. Critical pressure - a substance is the pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical
temperature.
g. Critical temperature - a substance is the temperature at and above which vapor of
the substance cannot be liquefied, no matter how much pressure is applied.
h. Vapor compression - in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of
the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air-
conditioning of buildings and automobiles.
i. Vapor absorption - The power utilized in vapour compression system is high grade
energy i.e., electric power for running the compressor motor. In absorption refrigera-
tion system, however, heat is directly utilized as source of energy.
j. Air/gas - Gases give off heat when changed from gas to liquid.
