Types of Refrigeration Refrigeration systems • Vapour Compression Refrigeration (VCR): uses mechanical energy • Vapour Absorption Refrigeration (VAR): uses thermal energy

11

Types of Refrigeration Vapour Compression Refrigeration • Highly compressed fluids tend to get colder when allowed to expand • If pressure high enough • Compressed air hotter than source of cooling • Expanded gas cooler than desired cold temperature 12

Types of Refrigeration Vapour Compression Refrigeration Two advantages • Lot of heat can be removed (lot of thermal energy to change liquid to vapour) • Heat transfer rate remains high (temperature of working fluid much lower than what is being cooled) 13

25

Types of Refrigeration Refrigerant-absorbent combinations for VARS The desirable properties of refrigerant-absorbent mixtures for VARS are: i The refrigerant should exhibit high solubility with solution in the absorber. This is to say that it should exhibit negative deviation from Raoult’s law at absorber. ii.

There should be large difference in the boiling points of refrigerant and absorbent (greater than 200 oC), so that only refrigerant is boiled-off in the generator. This ensures that only pure refrigerant circulates through refrigerant circuit (condenser-expansion valve-evaporator) leading to isothermal heat transfer in evaporator and condenser. 26

Types of Refrigeration iii.

It should exhibit small heat of mixing so that a high COP can be achieved. However, this requirement contradicts the first requirement. Hence, in practice a trade-off is required between solubility and heat of mixing.

iv.

The refrigerant-absorbent mixture should have high thermal conductivity and low viscosity for high performance.

v.

It should not undergo crystallization or solidification inside the system.

vi. The mixture should be safe, chemically stable, noncorrosive, inexpensive and should be available easily. 27

Types of Refrigeration The most commonly used refrigerant-absorbent pairs in commercial systems are: 1. Water-Lithium Bromide (H2O-LiBr) system for above 0oC applications such as air conditioning. Here water is the refrigerant and lithium bromide is the absorbent. 2. Ammonia-Water (NH3-H2O) system for refrigeration applications with ammonia as refrigerant and water as absorbent. Of late efforts are being made to develop other refrigerantabsorbent systems using both natural and synthetic refrigerants to overcome some of the limitations of (H 2O-LiBr) and (NH3-H2 O) systems. Currently, large water-lithium bromide (H2O-LiBr) systems are extensively used in air conditioning applications, where as large ammonia-water (NH3-H2O) systems are used in refrigeration applications, while small ammonia-water systems with a third inert gas are used in a pumpless form in small domestic refrigerators (triple fluid vapour absorption systems).

Air Duct Design Methods of Duct Design 1- Equal friction Method 2- Static Regain Method 1-Equal Friction Method This method of sizing is used for supply, exhaust and return air duct systems and employs the same friction loll per foot of length for the entire system. The equal friction method is superior to velocity reduction since it requires less balancing for symmetrical layouts. If a design has a 99

Air Duct Design

mixture of short and long runs, the shortest run requires considerable dampering. Such a system is difficult to balance since the equal friction method makes no provision for equalizing pressure drops in branches of for providing the same static pressure behind each air terminal.

100

Air Duct Design Example 4 – Equal Friction Method of Designing Ducts Given: Duct systems for general office (Fig.47). Total air quantity – 5400 cfm 18 air terminals – 300 cfm each Operating pressure forall terminals – 0.15 in. wg Radius elbows, R/D = 1.25 Find: 1.Initial duct velocity, area, size and friction rate in the duct section from the fan to the first branch. 2.Size of remaining duct runs. 3. Total equivalent length of duct run with highest resistance. 4. Total static pressure required at fan discharge 101

Air Duct Design 2-Static Regain Method The basic principle of the static regain method is to size a duct run so that the increase in static pressure (regain due to reduction in velocity) at each branch or air terminal just offsets the friction loss in the succeeding section of duct. The static pressure is then the same before each terminal and at each branch. The following procedure is used to design a duct system by this method: select a starting velocity at the fan discharge from Table 7 and size the initial duct section from Table 6.

102

Air Duct Design The remaining sections of duct are sized from Chart 10 (L!Q Ratio) and Chart 11 (Low Velocity Static Regain). Chart 10 is used to determine the L/Q ratio knowing the air quantity (Q) and length (L) between outlets or branches in the duct section to be sized by static regain. This length (L) is the equivalent length between the outlets or branches, including elbows, except transformations. The effect of the transformation section is accounted for in “Chart 11 3 Static Regain.” This assumes that the transformation section is laid out according to the recommendation presented in this chapter.
