is the process of cooling to provide human comfort
Air conditioning
is used for food preservation; removing heat
from substances in chemical, petroleum, and petrochemical plants; and numerous
special applications such as those in the manufacturing and construction industries
Refrigeration (Industrial refrigeration)
Is a branch of science that deals with the process of reducing and maintaining the
temperature of space or material below the temperature of the surroundings.
REFRIGERATION
Is used to describe thermal systems that maintain process space or material at a temperature less than available from ambient conditions.
REFRIGERATION
APPLICATION OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
● Food storage and distribution
● Storage
● Distribution
● Food processing
● Chemical and Process Industries
include the manufacturers of chemicals, petroleum refiners, petrochemical plants, paper and pulp industries that require good engineering for their refrigeration.
Chemical and Process Industries
A refrigeration method of lowering and maintaining the temperature of a material or space using a literal ice (water or other substance, say dry ice).
Ice Refrigeration
A method of refrigeration using mechanical components composing a system known
as vapor compression refrigeration system.
Mechanical Refrigeration
A method of refrigeration through the use of a system or cycle known as Absorption
Refrigeration System or cycle.
Absorption Refrigeration
A method of refrigeration system using water as refrigerant; lowering and
maintaining of system temperature is attained by creation of vacuum condition
through the action of steam jet.
Steam Jet or Vacuum Refrigeration
A method of refrigeration using air as refrigeration; the system is normally called the
Air Cycle Refrigeration system.
Air Cycle Refrigeration
FOUR BASIC COMPONENTS OF REFRIGERATION
● Evaporator
● Condenser
● Expansion Valve or Capillaries
● Compressor
Are low-pressure vapor heat exchangers.
Evaporator
Located in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator
Evaporator
forms the coldest
part of the cabinet with a temperature of about -15℃
Freezer
Just below the Freezer, there is a
Chiller Tray
Are high-pressure vapor heat exchangers.
Condenser
Standard condensing temperature
55℃
The throttling devices that transport refrigerant from high-pressure condition to low pressure condition
Expansion Valve or Capillaries
Are pressure raising devices.
Compressor
Is the rate of cooling required to freeze one ton of water at 32 ℉ into ice at 32 ℉ in one day or 24 hr.
Tons of Refrigeration (TR)
Standard evaporation temperature for a
vapor-compression refrigeration system.
5°F = -15℃
Standard condensing temperature for a
vapor-compression refrigeration system.
86°F = 30℃
Is a cycle that receives heat from a colder and delivers heat to a hotter body, not in
violation of the second law, but by virtue of a work input.
Reverse Cycle
