    INTRODUCTION ‘The Vapour absorption reftigeration system is one of the oldest method of producing refrigerating effeet. The principle of Vapour absorption was first discovered by Michael Faraday in 1824 while performing a set of experiments to liquefy certain gases. A French scientist Ferdinand Carre developed the first Vapour absorption reffigeration machine in 1860. This system may be used in both the domestic and large industrial sstem, is refrigerating plants. ‘The refrigerant, commonly used in a Vapour absorption ammonia. {be Vapour absorption system uses heat energ, . instead of mechanical energy as in Vapour compression systems, in order to change the conditions of the refrigerant required for the operation of the refrigeration eycle. In the Vapour absorption system, an absorber. a pump, a generaior and a pr sure- reducing valve replace the compressor. ‘These components in Vapour absorption system perform the same function as that of a compressor in Vapour compression system. In this sy m, the Vapour refi scrant from the evaporator is drawn inio an absorber where ~ i absorbed by the week solution of the refrigerant forming a strong solution. This solution is pumped to the generator where it is heated by some external source, the heating process, the Vapour refrigerant is driven off by the solution and “econ into the condenser where it is liquefied. The liquid refrigerant then flows into the stor and thus the eyele is completed. REFRIGERATOR:- 50 Ltr. ELECTROLUX REFRIGERATOR, Three fluid s: stem 1. Ammonia (NH 3) 2. Water (10) 3.

Main switeh 3) WORKING {he Domestic Absorption type Reftigerator was invented by two Swedish Engineers ‘arl Munters and Baltzer Van Platan in 1925 while they were studying for their er-graduate course of Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The Idea was st developed by the ‘Electrolux Company’ of Luton, England. this type of reftigerator is also called Three- fluids absorption system. The main so that in the al ourpose of this system is to eliminate the pump sence of moving parts, the machine becomes noise-less, ‘The three fluids used in this system are ammonia, hydrogen and water. he ammonia is used as a refrigerant because it possesses most of the desirable properties, It is toxic, but due to absence of moving parts, there are very little changes for the leakage and the total amount of refrigeration used is smal]. + ‘The hydrogen being the lightest gas, is used to increase the rate of evaporation of the liquid ammonia passing through the evaporator. ‘The hydrogen is also non- corrosive and insoluble in water. This is u d in the low-pressure side of the system. © The water s used as a solvent because it has the ability to absorb ammonia readily. ¢ strong ammonia solution from the absorber through heat exchanger is heated in the for by applymg heat from an extemal source usually a gas bumer. During this process ammonia Vapour are removed trom the solution and passed to the x A rectifier or a water separator fitted before the condenser removes water carried with the ammonia Vapour, so that dry ammonia vapo supplied tw the condenser. ‘These water vapours, if not removed, they will enter into the evaporator causing freezing and choking of the machine, The hot weak solution while passing through the hanger is cooled. The heat removed by the weak solution is utilized in raising the temperature of strong solution passing through the heat exchanger. In this way, the absoxption is accelerated and the improvement in the performance of a plant is achieved. he ammonia vapours in the condenser are condensed by us ng external cooling sourc the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser flows under gravity to the evaporator where it meets the hydn gen yas, ‘The hydrogen gas which is being fed to the evaporator permit the liquid ammonia to evaporate at a low pressure and temperature according to Dalton’s principal. During the proce: tion, the ammonia absorbs latent heat s of evapo from the refrigerated space and thus produces cooling ef The mixture of ammonia vapour and hydrogen is passed to the absorber where ammonia is absorbed in water while the hydrogen rises \o Lhe top and flows back to the evaporator. ‘The Main Disadvantage of Electrolux Refrigerator is: * It can not be used for Industrial Purpose as the COP of the System is very Low OBSERVATION T1 = Evaporator Temperature = Ko °K ‘12 = Condenser Temperature = senerator Temperature = Where, Tl < 12
