    Test on Vapour compression Test Rig

    INTRODUCTION:

    Vapour compression refrigeration cycle is a very widely used cycle of refrigeration in


    ground, air space and marine applications. It uses variety of refrigerants such as
    Ammonia (NH3) Freon group (R12, R22, R13, etc.), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Carbon
    Dioxide (CO2). The vapour compression refrigeration system has fundamentally four
    basic components and four basic processes.

    EVAPORATOR
    Liquid refrigerant at a low pressure evaporates at low temperature and produces
    refrigerating effect. (RE)

    Compressor: Low pressure vapour from evaporator is sucked and compressed to high
    temperature and pressure. The work done by the compressor is ‘W’.

    CONDENSER:- High pressure vapours are condensed rejecting heat to cooling medium.

    EXPANSION DEVICE:- High pressure liquid refrigerant from condenser is allowed to


    pass to the evaporator though the expansion device. A capillary or Thermostatic
    expansion valve is an expansion device used through which the liquid refrigerant is
    throttled. The present unit has been deigned to demonstrate these processes and to
    investigate the effects of different variables on the performance of the theoretical cycle
    and actual cycle of refrigeration.

    DESCRIPTION:
    All the components of refrigeration tutor are displayed on a portable panel. The unit
    consists of 1/3 TR refrigerating capacity compressor, and air cooled condenser, a water
    calorimeter, capillary. Refrigerant vapours from the evaporator coil are sucked by the
    compressor, and are compressed and discharged to air cooled condenser. This high
    temperature and high pressure refrigerant is cooled in the condenser and is converted into
    liquid form. This liquid refrigerant is then passed though capillary. The liquid refrigerant
    thus is throttled and is admitted to the evaporator where it boils. In the evaporator the
    refrigerant is converted from liquid in to the Vapour form and produces the refrigerating
    effect at the evaporator. The evaporator coil is fitted in the calorimeter containing water
    and thus the water temperature is lowered down due to loss heat energy by the
    evaporation process followed in the evaporator coil dipped in the water. Sufficient water
    until the evaporator coil is totally immersed. The temperature of the water in the
    calorimeter can be observed with the help of dial thermometer. Separate pressure gauges
    are provided to measure temperature of the refrigerant at inlet and outlet of condenser and
    evaporator.
    Energy meter is supplied to measure work done by compressor. TEST

    PROCEDURE
     Put the main switch on.

     Start the condenser fan and wait for 5 minutes.

     Switch ‘ON’ compressor.

     Wait for 45 minutes to achieve steady state condition.

     Measure flashes of energy meter per min

     Note down the readings in the observation table
