Unit 25 - Chapter 117 Flashcards
An evaporator that contains only a small amount of liquid refrigerant at any time is what type of evaporator?
Dry
The two types of evaporators differ in the
Method of refrigerant circulation
Refrigerant evaporators
Are used to transfer heat
The evaporator which increases heat exchange by crimping thin metal plates to its form is which type?
Finned tube
The evaporator which can be easily cleaned without interruption is which type?
Plate surface
Which statement about shell and tube evaporators is false?
Liquid to be cooled circulates through tubes in the direct expansion operation
Air cooled condensers of large capacities are found mainly in which locations
Roof tops
Which statement about double tube condensers is true?
Water flow in inner tube is in the opposite direction of flow of refrigerant
The condenser which is very expensive to clean and requires tube to be cleaned with acid and neutralized is the
Shell and coil
The amount of water used in an evaporative condenser is only a small percentage of that used in a water condenser of same capacity due to
Water evaporating requires a large amount of latent heat
Common types of water cooler condensers are
- shell and tube
- shell and coil
- double tube
Defective condensers are a results of
- scale forming chemicals
- dirty cooling water
- non condensable gases
- low coolant circulation
NOT compressor lubricating oil
The purpose of a condenser is to
Remove latent heat from refrigerant
The amount of water used in an evaporative condenser is less because
The cooling water evaporates, removing far more heat per kilogram of system coolant
Which statement about shell and tube evaporator is false?
The brine circulates through the tubes in a direct expansion chiller
