Chapter 118- Refrigeratin Control Cycles Flashcards
The operation of a start stop compressor is usually controlled by what kind of actuators
Pressure
Humidity
Temperature
How does a temperature actuated control valve work
Movement of a bimetallic element Expansion of a fluid Vapour pressure elf a volatile fluid Electrical resistance Electronic signals
How does a pressure actuated control work
Temperature always corresponds with pressure, by measuring the pressure a person can find the corresponding temperature of a refrigerant and use this information to regulate his equipment
How does a humidity actuated control work?
It consists of a hygroscopic element, which grows or shrinks depending on the current humidity, this affects an on off control in your valve
Refrigerant flow control valve
Controls the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator
Many refrigerating units use air or water for cooling
Water
What does a condenser water regulating valve do
Regulates the flow of Cooling water to the condenser
How does a condenser cooling water regulating valve work
A set of bellows connected by tubing is connected to the high pressure side of the system. When heat absorbed equals heat gained the flow remains constant but during load change the pressure on the system will move the bellows changing the rate of flow
