Study Notes
Gas Properties and Types
- Two kilograms of gas has a volume of 1 m³, pressure of 200 kPa, and temperature of 8°C.
- Possible gas types listed: Helium, Ethane, Methane, Ethane.
Refrigeration Components
- An evaporator is a heat exchanger where low-pressure refrigerant boils and absorbs heat from the refrigerating area.
- A chiller is related but typically refers to a unit that cools and circulates fluids.
- Flooded refrigeration systems partially evaporate the refrigerant and recirculate the remainder.
Refrigeration Techniques
- Frigorific mixtures are used to produce low temperatures; a common example includes ice and salt.
- The Reaumur Scale measures temperature where ice melts at 0°C and water boils at 80°C.
Heat Transfer Concepts
- Specific heat indicates the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
- A British thermal unit (BTU) is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 32°F to 212°F.
Gas Behavior and States
- Critical temperature is the maximum temperature for vapor condensation into a liquid, regardless of applied pressure.
- Saturation temperature refers to the boiling point at which a substance transitions from liquid to vapor.
Refrigerant Properties
- Halogenated refrigerants, developed since the 1920s, offer safer alternatives to toxic refrigerants like ammonia.
- Freon refrigerants were specifically designed to address the high pressure issues of carbon dioxide used historically.
Refrigeration System Components
- An evaporative condenser combines cooling tower and condenser functions within a single unit.
- Fouling factor accounts for heat transfer rate degradation due to dirt buildup on the interior surfaces of tubing.
Evaporator Types
- A flooded evaporator is configured to be filled completely with refrigerant, typically arranged with a tank or drum situated above the coil.
