Relationship between pressure and temperature.
For HVACR purposes, the crucial point at which pressure and temperature com together is point at which evaporation or condensation occurs, depending upon whether heat is being added or removed. The Heat/temperature char of water points out some important things about pressure and temperature.
Sub cooling
Liquid at the temperature blow its boiling point.
Super heat zone
Heat added to vapor above its saturated condition.
Latent heat
Heat added or taken away for 1 pound of a substance that causes a change in state, but not a change in temperature.
Heat of evaporation and condensation are _________ heat
Latent
Sub Cooling zone
Liquid at a temperature below its boiling point (sensible heat)
Super heat zone
Heat added to Vapor above its saturated condition.
Heat of freezing
Taking heat from water to get ice. (Latent heat)
Heat of melting
Adding heat to ice to get water. (Latent heat) 144 btu
Sensible heat
Heat added for removed from a substance that causes a change in temperature.
What happens to the boiling point of temperature if the pressure is increased?
Boiling point temperature go up.
Water is radiation in car boils a 250 degrees. Because it is held at 15 pounds of pressure.
Saturated Condition
Liquid and vapor in the same container under the same conditions
Inch Hq = micron= cm=mm
1.00 inch Hg = 25.400 microns=2.54cm=25.4mm
.100 inch Hg = 2,540 microns=.254cm=2.54mm
.039 inch hg = 1000 microns = .100cm=1.00mm
Micron
1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter.
Work
Force x distance
Power
Work x time
Boyle’s Law
P up V down T = P down V goes up T= With a constant temperature P = pressure V = volume T = temperature
Charles law
V up T up P =
V down T down P =
P up T up V=
P up T up V=
Pascal law
Pressure on a fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
Example: Brakes in your car
Fluid
Is something the will flow. Liquid or a vapor or both.
Critical pressure
Is a condition of fluids, including refrigerants at which liquid and gas have the same properties. This pressure is so high that the physical state of liquid and vapor merged
Critical temperature
Is the highest temperature at which a gas can still be liquefied by the application of pressure. If vapor temperature is above the critical temperature, increasing pressure upon the vapor will not cause it to condense into liquid.
Specific Gravity
Is the ratio of weight or mass of a given volume of a substance that of the same volume of a standard
With refrigerants the standard is air
Propane will sink. (It is heavier the air) Natural gas goes up (it is lighter than air)
Saturated
A solution is said to be saturated when it can dissolve or contain no more of a substance and additional amounts will appear as precipitate. The point at which a change of state will occur
