The dehydrator removes water and noncondensable gases. It indicates any water leakage into the refrigerant (see No. 6 in Fig. 8-11). This system includes a…
Refrigerant liquid from a sump in the condenser (No. 24 in Fig. 8-11) is subcooled by passage through a line in the cooler (No. 27…
The machine compressor continuously draws large quantities of refrigerant vapor from the cooler, at a rate determined by the size of the guide-vane opening. This…
A chiller is part of a condenser. Chillers are used to cool water or brine solutions. The cooled (chilled) water or brine is fed through…
Water is used to cool condensers. One method is to cool condensers with water from the city water supply and then exhaust the water into…
Figure 8-1 illustrates the refrigeration process within an air-cooled condenser. Figure 8-2 shows some of the various types of compressors and condensers mounted as a…
