Refrigeration Flashcards
What is the flow of refrigeration cycle?
The refrigeration cycle start with the compressor (vapor state HP & HT) to oil separator > Condenser (Liquid State HP& LT) > Receiver > Filter/Drier > Liquid Line Solenoid Valve (connected to control panel) > Sight Glass > Expansion Valve (Liquid LT & LP) > Evaporator (connected to thermostat) (Vapor LP & LT) > Evaporator Pressure Regulator > Suction Accumulator > Suction Line Filter/Drier > Compressor.
What Part of the Refrigeration Cycle is the responsible for the starting and stopping of compressor?
Thermostat
What are the causes of Icing of Evaporator?
- Dirty Fins (the heat cannot be absorbed by the evaporator)
- Insufficient refrigerant. Before going to the evaporator fins the refrigerant temp is already low.
What do you call the small amount of liquid refrigerant that is converted into gas in response to drop in pressure?
Flash Gas (example is the refrigerant that comes from expansion valve)
