Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Refrigeration What is refrigeration system? What are the methods of refrigeration? What are the different types of refrigeration system generally used in practice? Differentiate between a heat engine, refrigerator and heat pump. Definea) Tonne/Ton of refrigeration b) Refrigerating effect c) COP of refrigeration Describe the simple vapor compression refrigeration cycle with neat sketch. Explain the working principle of a vapor compression refrigeration system. Show the high pressure side and low pressure side of a vapour compression refrigeration system, with neat sketch. Draw the p-h and T-S diagram of actual vapour compression refrigeration system. Draw the following vapour compression refrigeration cycles on p-h and T-S plans. a) Cycle with dry saturated vapour after compression b) Cycle with wet vapour after compression c) Cycle with superheated vapour before compression. d) Cycle with superheated vapour after compression e) Cycle with sub-cooling of refrigeration. f) Cycle with under-cooling of refrigerant Explain the working principle of vapour absorption refrigeration system. What are the basic differences between a vapour compression refrigeration cycle and vapour absorption refrigeration cycle? Write down the advantages of vapor absorption system over vapor compression system of refrigeration. Why use of air refrigeration system is decrease day by day? What is refrigerant? What are the refrigerants normally used in practice? State the properties of a good refrigerant.
