Advance Refridge Flashcards
What would be the two function of the evaporator in a refridgeration system?
Remove heat + Dehumidify
System with TXV what do you charge by?
Subcool
System wih Fixed abore what do you charge by?
Superheat
Find boiling temp of evaporator?
Superheat subtracted by suction line temp
What is the superheat of the evaporator you’re looking for?
8-12 degree comfort cooling
Excessively high superheat?
Starving Evaporator
Low superheat?
Low on charge, flooding, and or undercharge
How does a medium temp evaporator defrost?
(Off cycle) defrost with ambient temp
How’s defrost always initiated?
By time
High subcool means what?
Overcharge
Which one has low condensing temps? Air cool or water cool?
(Water cool) condenses at 100-105 degree
If the system is overcharge what does it mean?
High subcool, means its ocer 10-15 degree (txv)
3 things that happen in a condenser?
Desuperheat, condense, and subcool
Reciprocating compressors discharge temp is what?
200-220
What compressor uses pistons and valves?
Reciprocating compressor
Compressor can only compress what?
Vapor pump
TXV is designed to maintain what?
Constant superheat
AEV maintains what?
Pressure
Wihere do you mount the sensing bulb?
Suction line near the evaporator
Cap tube and or fixed bore controls refridgeration flow by what?
Friction causing pressure drop getting tempature drop
If close to superheat what should your setpoint be?
8-12 degree for cap tube and fixed bore
On a TXV whats the part that causes needles and valves to move?
Diaframe
What is the component that protects the system?
Low pressure control
Can low pressure control be used as a thermostat?
Yes
