Final Year Project Presentation
Variable expansion process in VCRS can provide optimized performance
eliminating need for drastic changes throughout the system.
Life of system can also be improved by elimination of irregularities in operating
time, reducing maintenance costs
Existing systems can also be adapted up to a certain extent providing extended
performance and other benefits.
Overall efficiency of the system can be improved on basis of varying
environmental conditions.
Reduction in waste of energy and waste of resources can be achieved due to
extension of existing refrigeration machines.
