Vapour Cycle Cooling System Flashcards
1
Q
What does a Compressor do
A
Pulls low pressure refrigerant from Evaporator
Compressed it
Pressure and Temp increases
2
Q
What does a Condenser do
A
Condences Hot refrigerant gas from compressor
Brings Refrigerant back to liquid
3
Q
What does a Resievour Dryer do
A
Stores refrigerant
4
Q
What does a Thermostatic Expansion Valve do
A
Regulates amount of liquid refrigerant flowing to Evaporator
5
Q
What does an Evaporator do
A
Absorbs heat of the aircraft cabin into refrigerant
This evaporates refrigerant
6
Q
What is Refrigerant
A
Any volitile liquid
Max effectiveness = Low vapour presssure
