    Vapor Compression Cycle

    Uploaded by

    Mir Haziq
    The document describes the vapor compression refrigeration cycle, which is the most commonly used refrigeration cycle. It involves compressing a refrigerant vapor, condensing it into a liquid, expanding the liquid to cause cooling, and evaporating the liquid to repeat the cycle. The main components are a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. Heat is absorbed during evaporation and rejected during condensation. Vapor compression refrigeration has high efficiency and is widely used for applications like food storage, transport refrigeration, and medical refrigeration.

    INTRODUCTION
     A major area of thermodynamics is
    refrigeration, which is the transfer of heat from
    a lower temperature region to a higher
    temperature region.
     The term refrigeration may be defined as the
    process of removing heat from a substance
    under controlled conditions.
     Devices that produce refrigeration are called
    refrigerators, and the cycles on which they
    operate are called refrigeration cycles.
     The most frequently used refrigeration cycle is
    the vapour compression refrigeration cycle in
    which the refrigerant is vapourized and
    condensed alternately and is compressed in the
    vapour phase. Another well known
    refrigeration cycle is the gas refrigeration cycle
    in which the refrigerant remains in the gaseous
    phase throughout.
    PRINCIPLES OF REFRIGERATION

     Liquids absorb heat when changed from liquid


    to gas (latent heat of vapourization)
     Gases give off heat when changed from gas to
    liquid (latent heat of condensation)
    MAIN COMPONENTS IN VCRC
     Compressor
     Condenser
     Expansion valve
     Evaporator
    BASIC PROCESSES IN VCRC
     1-2 Isentropic
    compression (in a
    compressor)
     2-3 Constant pressure
    heat rejection (in a
    condenser)
     3-4 Isenthalpic expansion
    (in expansion valve)
     4-1 Constant pressure
    heat addition (in a
    evaporator)
    T-s & P-h Diagrams of
    VCRC
    COMPRESSOR
     The refrigerant comes
    into the compressor as
    a low-pressure gas, it
    is compressed and
    then moves out of the
    compressor as a high
    pressure gas
    CONDENSER
     The gas then flows to
    the condenser. Here
    the gas condenses to a
    liquid, and gives off
    its heat to the outside
    air.
    EXPANSION VALVE/ METERING
    DEVICE
     The liquid then moves
    to the expansion valve
    under high pressure.
    This valve restricts the
    flow of the liquid, and
    lowers its pressure as
    it leaves the
    expansion valve.
    EVAPORATOR
     The low pressure
    liquid then moves to
    the evaporator where
    heat from the inside
    air is absorbed and
    changes it from a
    liquid to a gas.
    Co-efficient of Performance
    (COP) of REFRIGERATORS
     The performance of refrigerators is expressed
    in terms of Co-efficient of Performance (COP)
    defined as
    (COP) = desired output / required input
    or
    (COP) = Cooling effect / work input
    APPLICATIONS OF VCRC
     Domestic refrigeration
     Commercial refrigeration
     Food processing and cold storage
     Industrial refrigeration
     Transport refrigeration
     Electronic cooling
     Medical refrigeration
     Cryogenic refrigeration
