It is also used in domestic and commercial refrigerators, large-scale warehouses for chilled or frozen storage of foods and meats, refrigerated trucks and railroad cars, and a host of other commercial and industrial services. Oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical processing plants, and natural gas processing plants are among the many types of industrial plants that often utilize large vapor-compression refrigeration systems. Working Of Vapor Compression Refrigeration System: The figure shows the basic components of a vapor compression refrigeration system As shown in the figure the basic system consists of an evaporator, compressor, condenser and an expansion valve. The refrigeration effect is obtained in the cold region as heat is extracted by the vaporization of refrigerant in the evaporator. The refrigerant vapor from the evaporator is compressed in the compressor to a high pressure at which its saturation temperature is greater than the ambient or any other heat sink. Hence when the high pressure, high-temperature refrigerant flows through the condenser, condensation of the vapor into liquid takes place by heat rejection to the heat sink. To complete the cycle, the high-pressure liquid is made to flow through an expansion valve. In the expansion valve the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant decrease. This low pressure and low- temperature refrigerant vapor evaporates in the evaporator taking heat from the cold region. It should be observed that the system operates on a closed cycle. The system requires input in the form of mechanical work. It extracts heat from a cold space and rejects heat to a high-temperature heat sink. v hitps:learnmech.comivapor-compression-rfigeration-system-par's-working-cycllifVapor_Compression_Refigeration_System_Basic_ Workin, 3it8Vapor Compression Rettigeration System | Basic, Working, Pars Of System Heated Air f t Avie LULL ELL LL a THT TTT TT | See sy 1 Fan TT workigpuf —— pansion ct 5121/22, 3:11 PM. | + aymponie I Cold region Vapour compression system Vapor Compression Cycle Working Diagram A refrigeration system can also be used as a heat pump, in which the useful output is the high-temperature heat rejected at the condenser.

The condensation process occurs at essentially constant pressure. c) Expansion After condenser the liquid refrigerant is stored in the liquid receiver until needed From the receiver it passes through an expansion valve where the pressure is reduced sufficiently to allow the vaporization of liquid at a low temperature of about -10°C. Between points 4 and 5, the saturated liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve and undergoes an abrupt decrease of pressure. That process results in the adiabatic flash evaporation and auto-refrigeration of a portion of the liquid (typically, less than half of the liquid flashes). d) Vaporization The low-pressure refrigerant vapor after expansion in the expansion valve enters the evaporator or refrigerated space where a considerable amount of heat IS absorbed by it and refrigeration is furnished. Between points 5 and 1, the cold and partially vaporized refrigerant travels through the coil or tubes in the evaporator where it is vaporized by the warm air (from the space being refrigerated) that a fan circulates across the coil or tubes in the evaporator. The resulting refrigerant vapor returns to the compressor inlet at point 1 to complete the thermodynamic cycle. Main Parts Of Vapor Compression Refrigeration v hitps:learamech.comivapor-compression-rfigeration-system-par's-working-cycllVapor_Compression_Refrigeration_System_Basic_ Workin, 7185121/22, 3:11 PM. \Vapar Compression Reftigeralion Sy im | Basic, Working, oF System Its function is to provide a heat transfer surface through which heat can pass from the refrigerated space into the vaporizing refrigerant. This is generally a Fin & Tube (Hair-Pin type) heat exchanger, similar to Air- Cooled Condensers. Suction Line It carries the low-pressure vapor from the evaporator to suction inlet of the compressor. 3. Compressor The function of the compressor is to draw refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and to raise Its temperature and pressure to such a print to that it may be easily condensed with normally available condensing media. It also maintains a continuous flow of the refrigerant through the system. Compression Ratio = Absolute Discharge Pressure / Absolute Suction Pressure The Capacity of a Compressor is determined by its Mass Flow rate (Lb/Min) and not by Volume Flow(CFM). The most common compressors used in chillers are reciprocating, rotary screw, centrifugal, and scroll compressors. Each application prefers one or another due to size, noise, efficiency and pressure issues. 4, Discharge Line It conveys the high pressure and high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor to the condenser. ‘nn hitpstearnmech.comivapor-compression-rfrigeraton-system-parts-working-cycleifVapor_Compression_Rettigeration_System Basic Workin... 6/18,5121/22, 3:11 PM.

Liquid Receiver It acts as, a reservoir that stores the liquid refrigerant coming from the condenser and supplies it to the evaporator according to the requirement. 7. Liquid Line It carries the liquid refrigerant from the receiver and conveys it to the expansion valve. 8. Expansion valve Function Of This valve is to Supply a proper amount of refrigerant to the evaporator after reducing its pressure considerably so that the refrigerant may take sufficient amount of heat from the refrigerating space during evaporation The Metering Device converts the High Pressure and High-Temperature Liquid from Condenser to Low Pressure and Low-Temperature Liquid-Vapor mixture, which will be fed to the Evaporator. An expansion valve is a component in refrigeration and air conditioning systems that controls the amount of refrigerant flow into the evaporator thereby controlling the superheat at the outlet of the evaporator.
