Evaporator Definition and 23 Threads

A heat pump is a sealed unit that contains the refrigerant within a constant volume. How does the compressor increase the pressure within the high-pressure compressor and condensation spaces? Does it do this by pumping refrigerant gas from the evaporator and into the high-pressure space? Is this...

The other day I read on a website that a lower evaporator airflow causes lower low pressure side saturation temperatures and higher delta T on an air-conditioner. Now I think I know why a lower evaporator airflow would cause a high delta T. If there is less air moving over the evaporator, the...

I am trying to model an evaporator which evaporates water to steam in Matlab/simulink. Are there any governing equations i need to know and follow when modelling the evaporator mathematically? Please let me know.

Homework Statement By the data given below, Condenser Inlet Pressure (P1/kPa) 1164 Condenser Inlet Temperature (T1/K) 382.8 Condenser Outlet Pressure (P2/kPa) 1102 Condenser Outlet Temperature (T2/K) 297.2 Evaporator Inlet Pressure (P3/kPa) 290 Evaporator Inlet Temperature (T3/K) 259.5...

Homework Statement Hello, I have a task to make a heat balance of the evaporator. To do this, I was told to carry a few smaller energy balances in different parts of the evaporator. One of the things I had to calculate was the heat generated during steam compression. -steam is entering...

It appears very non intuitive to me seeing TS diagram of vapour compression system; Area under the curve increases. But how seriously how higher evaporator temperature will lead to higher refrigeration effect. Refrigeration effect means lower temperature.

Hi All. Please can someone help? I have a question regarding calculating heat load and required surface area for a single effect evaporator. Details: Solution Feed rate 1.1kg s-1 Solution feed concentration 8%, concentrated to 30% Feed solution at 60 degrees Celsius with Specific Heat Capacity...

Homework Statement Before, I started to evaporate my solvent (butanol) by using rotary evaporator, I greased the ground glass joint holding my flask and bump trapper. Subsequently, I secured my flask sample and the trapper with Keck clip . Is there any possibility that my sample may have been...

An unfortunate incident happened at our triple effect caustic evaporator (32w.t% to 51w.t%). The third effect (highlighted red) where major steam (~12-13bar depending on flowrate) assisted evaporation take place, here for some reason Ni tubes get severely collapsed, while the plant was offline...

Hi All, Is there a list of thermodynamics equations regarding the chiller process from condenser, evaporator, compressor to the regulator. Say I have chiller load at 90%, what set of equations could I use to determine the supply temperature of chill water and condenser supply temperature to...

Hi! For our class project, we have to design a system that freezes an amount of water as quick as possible. The refrigerant is R134a. The compressor is known. I don't really know how to get started here. How do I choose the evaporator pressure and the superheating, and equally the condensor...

Hello - fundamental thermo question which is puzzling me... It concerns a multiple effect evaporator with condenser. Hot vapour is water, cooling medium is water. My question stems from the following: When the flow of cooling water to the condenser is increased, the pressure in the condenser...

You can read just bold, or all for further info. :D The COP for a single stage vapour compression refrigerator increases with an increase in evaporating temperature. I would like to to know how it is achieved in reality with the use of an internal heat exch. on the evaporator. Can anyone...

In vapor compression refrigeration, I know how to calculate the work done by the compressor (enthalpy at outlet - enthalpy at inlet), but I am lost on how to calculate the work done by the evaporator, condenser, and the expansion valve. For the evaporator and condenser, if I wish to have a...

Hi! I really want to know how evaporator is made. i mean it is impossible to made by casting process, but i also not sure. anyboby who involve in this industry can please help me

Hi guys, I'm stuck on some thermodynamic calculations and I would really appreciate some help! I'm trying to calculate the refrigerant temperature inside of an evaporator (two-phase lumped parameter model) based on the exit temperature of the evaporator and the pressure. I've understood that...

I believe that when refrigerant in an air-conditioner's evaporator boils into gas, the pressure on the refrigerant goes down tremendously. I believe that the drop in pressure on the refrigerant when it becomes a gas causes the temperature of the refrigerant to drop. I believe this because I...

Homework Statement I have attached a diagram, for this question, I am stuck on how to calculate the flow rate. there is 70kg/h of feed going into the evaporator, of which 11% is solids, so that's 7.7kg/h of solids, and so 62.3kg/h of liquid in the feed. so now how do I calculate the...

Hello, Could someone please give me an explanation using the following equation? I work this evaporator machine but in the operations manual there is this equation below.I would like to further my knowledge. Equation for Evaporation Q = U x A x DT Q = Energy Transfer (W) U = Heat...

Hey, I am trying to determine the importantance and difference of fouling in sizing the evaporator and condenser in a Refrigeration cycle? Thanks, Alexisonsmith

please let me know about evaporator design steps

Window-type Aircon how to get this in an actual experiment? is it just (mass flow rate of the refrigerant X specific heat X Change in temp of the refrigerant) or (mass flow rate of the air passing thru the heat exchanger X specific heat X Change in temp of the air) or (mass flow rate of the...
