Condensor

Question 1

What does condenser do?

Answer 1

De superheat Vapor’s

Condense Vapor’s to liquid

Subcools liquid

Question 2

Water cooled are more sufficient cause

Answer 2

Can operate at much lower condensing temps

Question 3

Types of condesors

Answer 3

Double tubes
She’ll and coil
She’ll and tube

Question 4

Tube in tube

Answer 4

Coil and cleanble

Water flows in the inner tube

Refrigerant in outer tube

In opposite to maximize transfer rate

Question 5

Mineral Deposits

Answer 5

Heat from discharge gas causes minerals to come out of solution

Cannot be cleaned mechanically in tube in tube

Question 6

Mineral deposits

Answer 6

Dirty condensers lead to high head pressures

Question 7

Cleanble double tube

Answer 7

Have end flanges- remove to access circuit

Seal refrigerant

Question 8

Shell and Coil

Answer 8

Closed in welded shell

She’ll acts as receiver storage tank

With cool coil refrigerant falls to bottom
Clean chemically

Question 9

Shell and tube

Answer 9

Larger installations, clean mechanically

Compressor discharge

Question 10

Wastewater systems

Answer 10

Economical is water is free or if system is small

The water can vary greatly

Question 11

Refrigerant to Water Relationship

Answer 11

Pressure tap

Let in more or less water to constant head pressure

Question 12

Varying with season

Answer 12

Faster inlet when water is warmer

Slower inlet when water is cooler

Question 13

Recirculating Water system

Answer 13

85F

3 gpm is required to absorbe heat

10F split

Question 14

Cooling Tower

Answer 14

Device passes outside air over water to remove system heat

Capacity limited by amount of evaporation

Question 15

Forced draft

Answer 15

Remove low potential heat generated in production process

Question 16

Natural draft

Answer 16

Often made of redwood fiber glass and galvanized

No blowers to move air through

Question 17

Forced draft

Answer 17

Air is pushed through tower

Question 18

Induced draft

Answer 18

Air is pulled though tower

Question 19

Draft Tower

Answer 19

As water falls through the tower air is moved across it to aid cooling

Question 20

Evaporative Condensors

Answer 20

Inside cooling tower

Makeup system replaces evaporated water

Question 21

Evaporative condensors

Answer 21

Both air and water used to desuperheat condense and subcool refrigerant

Water allowed to escape regularily

Question 22

Air cooled

Answer 22

Air absorbs heat in difficult places

Anywhere discharge

About 30F or higher

Question 23

High efficiency

Answer 23

Allows systems operate at lower pressures

As low as 10F than outside ambience

Question 24

condensing temperature drops

Answer 24

Ambient temp drops
