Einstein Refrigeration: Constructing the System with Limited Knowledge

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of constructing an Einstein refrigeration system with limited knowledge, particularly regarding the counter flow of gases. The simplified Einstein design is noted for preventing counter flow, and there is speculation about the electrostatic interaction between butane and ammonia vapors. Participants clarify terminology, specifically the refrigerant codes for butane (R600A) and the confusion surrounding the term "ROO." The need for expert input on thermodynamics and refrigeration mechanisms is expressed, particularly from users with relevant expertise. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of understanding and building refrigeration systems with limited foundational knowledge.

My question is generated by a an unsuccessful attempt to construct the einstein system with limited knowledge.

The first part the counter flow of different gasses (See attachment No1)

The main part is the simplified Einstein is what prevents counter flow in this system. I think that perhaps Butane vapour electrostatic-ally combines with NH3 vapour or visa versa.

Since this is my first entry to the Physics Forum I apologize any errors that I have made in post and thank you for your patience.

:welcome:One simple question=Why are you calling butane ROO? Butane has no oxygen atoms. Or is it ## R00## ? Also what is ## R600 ##?
 
In the refrigeration trade all refrigerants are referred to by there refrigerant code, Butane is coded with R600A. I didn't bother with the subset as we don't use it in every day language. We don't bother to use the precursor ie R407a is 407 etc. Sorry about that. Any other reference I made to it were typos which I'm very good at sorry.

Thanks. This topic is completely new to me. Perhaps @Chestermiller can help. His expertise is thermodynamics, but he also might have some knowledge of refrigeration mechanisms.
 
What does butane vapor combining electrostaticly with ammonia vapor mean? Does this somehow refer to the diagram of CO2 and ammonia in the first diagram with the valve? What is supposed to be happening there?
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
