vapor compression refrigeration Flashcards
four most basic components of vapor compression refrigeration
evaporatior compressor condenser metering device
what do we call the mediums we use to absorb and discharge heat energy
refrigerants
what component or device forces these mediums to circculate rough a refrigeration system
compressor
what state is the refrigerant in when it enters the device that forces these mediums to circulate through a refigeration system
hot low pressure gas
What state is the refrigerant in when it leaves this component? *
high pressure super heated gass
What component of this system absorbs heat energy from the area we are trying to cool? *
evaporator
What state is the refrigerant in when it enters the component that absorbs the heat energy from the area we are trying to cool? *
cold liquid gas mix
What state is the refrigerant in when it leaves the component that absorbs the heat energy from the area we are trying to cool? *
hot low pressure gass
Where in the system is the compressor located
after the evaporator and before the condenser
Where in the system is the evaporator located
in the area you are trying to cool
after the condenser but before the metering device
Where in the system is the condenser located
in the area where you are getting rid of the heat energy
after the compressor but before the meeting device
what component of this system causes the rapid expansion and dissipation of residual heat from the refrigerant
metering device
What state is the refrigerant in when it enters the component that causes the rapid expansion and dissipation of residual heat from the refrigerant?? *
liquid
What state is the refrigerant in when it leaves the component that causes the rapid expansion and dissipation of residual heat from the refrigerant
cold liquid gas mix
What component discharges of heat energy? *
the condenser
