What is the volume of displacement if a compressor has a volumetric efficiency of 70% and a cylinder diameter of 2” and the piston stroke is 3”?

Use v=3.14(r^2)h

A

6.59 Cubed
V=3.14(r^2)h
V=3.14x(1^2)x3
V=3.14x1x3
V=3.14x3
V=9.42
9.42xVOL EFF
9.42x0.70

When the airflow of an air conditioning evaporator is poor…?

A

The evap will probably freeze up,
Could potentially send liquid to compressor

37
Q

When the evaporator airflow is poor the evaporator air delta T dry bulb is??

A

Increased because the air has more contact time.

38
Q

When the condenser airflow is poor the evaporator air delta T dry bulb is..?

A

Decreased because the evaporator pressure and saturation temperature is increased

39
Q

When the condenser airflow is poor the head pressure is..?

A

Increased because thermal transfer is poor

40
Q

When the metering device is too permissive the evaporator air delta T dry bulb is

A

Increased because the evaporator has less vapour, more liquid

41
Q

When the metering device is too permissive the subcooling is..?

A

Decreased because saturation temperature is decreased,
Decreased because the liquid flow rate is increased in the liquid line
