Unit 25 - Chapter 116 Flashcards
In a sliding vane design refrigeration compressor, a good seal is maintained between the vanes and cylinder by
Centrifugal force
Which of the following is NOT a function of the refrigeration compressor?
Removed energy from the vapour
Refrigerant compressors
Could be centrifugal
The pressure ratio can be calculated by dividing
Absolute discharge pressure by absolute inlet pressure
For a helical rotor design, which statement is true?
The driving rotor has less helical loves than the driven rotor has flutes
A rotating mechanical seal is held in position by
A spring
The safety head of a refrigeration compressor is designed to
Relieve pressure due to liquid in the cylinder
The three main types of compressors are
Centrifugal, rotary, and reciprocating
Refrigeration compressor mechanical seals have this advantage over packing glands
Less wear on the rotating shaft
A disadvantage of hermetic compressors is
Fielding servicing is not possible
The piston displacement of a reciprocating compressor can be defined as
Volume of refrigerant that can be circulated through all cylinders per unit of time
