Refridgeration Flashcards
Explain conduction
Heat transfer within the material, solid transfer
Explain heat transfer
Heat will always transfer from hot to cold
Explain convention
Hotter areas of water circulate into colder areas, until all the water is the same temperature
Explain radiation
Heat transfer through the air
Explain sensible heat
The temperature increases with no change of state
Explain latent heat
The state changes but the temperature remains the same (ice cube melting)
Heat required to change the state of a substance
What is super heating
Increasing the temperature above its boiling point
IE steam that is 110’c it is 10’c super heat
A gas with a temperature rise above its boiling point
Explain Sub-cooling
A gas changes into a liquid
Cooled below a 100’c to 90’c means 10’c sub cooling
What is the fridge temperature for frozen meat
-18’c to -22’c
What are the Fridge temperatures
Cold room =-18 to -22
Cold room dairy = +4’c to +6’c
Fruit and veg store = +4’c to +6’c
Galley ready use cupboard = +5’c to +7’c
What does the compressor do in the basic refrigeration system do
Pumps the refrigerant around the system
What job does the condenser do in the refrigeration system do
Uses sea water to cool the refrigerant to achieve sub-cooling
What does TEV stand for
Thermostatic expansion valve
What job does the TEV do
Monitors the gas leaving the evaporator and adjusts the flow through the evaporator
What job does the evaporator do
To absorb heat energy, to turn refrigerant liquid into gas
