Difference Between Vapour Absorption and Compression systemWPS Office

The document compares and contrasts vapour compression and vapour absorption refrigeration systems. Vapour compression systems use a compressor to circulate refrigerant and have moving parts that can wear down over time, while vapour absorption systems use heat as an energy input and have no moving parts. Vapour absorption systems are quieter to operate but less efficient than vapour compression systems.

Difference between vapour compression system and vapour absorption system

Vapour compression system. Vapour absorption system

The system has a main parts like The system has a main parts like generator,
Compressor, condenser receiver, refrigerant rectifier, condenser absorber and evaporator
control device and evaporator

The system is noisy in operation The system is quiet in operation

The system has so many moving parts, so there is a The system has no moving parts and no possibility
possibility of wear and tear of wear and tear or sticking.
Energy supplied is mechanical Energy input is mainly heat
Generally steel, copper tube is used to connect the Steel tube is used to connect the parts
parts

To reduce the high pressure control devices like To reduce the pressure hydrogen gas is provided
expansion valve, front valve, capacity tube are used
The flow of gas depends upon the compressor The flow of gas depends upon the gravity and
working of the generator
This system is required to operate by prime movers This system is required to operate by heat energy
like electric motor, diesel or petrol engine like gas kerosene or electric heater.

This system is more efficient and occupies more This system is poor efficient
space
Charging of refrigerant is quite simple Charging of refrigerant to the system is difficult

Energy supply is low Energy supply is high
