Refrigeration basics part 1

1. What do you mean by REFRIGERATION?
Ans. It is the process of transfering heat from low temperature region to high temperature region .


2. What do you mean by term REFRIGERATOR ?
Ans. It is device the produces refrigeration .


3. What is the most common and frequently used REFRIGERATION CYCLE ?
Ans. VAPOUR -COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE. In which refrigerant is vapourised and condensed alternately .
 Refrigerant is compressed in vapour phase .


4. What are the various REFRIGERATION  CYCLE ?
Ans. a.  VAPOUR -COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE
        b.  GAS REFRIGERATION CYCLE in which refrigerant is in gasious phase throughout the        cycle.
        c. Cascade Refrigeration cycle in which more than one refrigerant is used .
        d. Vapour Absorption Refrigeration cycle in which refrigerant is mixed in liquid before it is compressed.
        e. Thermoelectric Refrigeration Cycle in which refrigeration is produced by supplying of electric current through two dissimilar metals.

Wire drawing effect

Wire drawing effect : It is erosion or scoring of valve seat and disc material of the valve . Causes : 1. Due to differential pressure across the valve . 2. Thermal and mechanical damages . Effects : Valve is unable to isolate the line and fails in sealing . Gas and liquid will leak from the wire and scratch like groove .

Difference between Attemperator and De-superheater

Attemperator are fitted in order to keep the steam temperature in the final stages of the superheater within certain desired limits . This is done for two main reasons . 1. The most important is the protection of the superheater tube material from the effects of overheating. *Mild steel superheater tubes tubes should not be subjected to steam temperatures in excess of 455℃. 2. The formation of bonded deposits on superheater tubes can be reduced if steam and gas streams within certain temperature ranges are prevented from coming into contact of each other. De-Superheater is used to reduce the temperature of a quantity of superheated steam and make it suitable for used in auxiliary services requires low temperature or saturated steam . *The reason for doing this way rather than by taking the saturated steam direct from steam drum , is to protect the superheater , these must be protected against overheating under all conditions of load by circulating steam through them . *Al...
