Vapour Absorption Refrigeration System and Vapour Compression Refrigeration System

This document compares and contrasts vapour absorption refrigeration systems and vapour compression refrigeration systems. It discusses the basic principles of refrigeration and lists the two main types. It then provides advantages of vapour absorption machines over compression cycle plants, including lower running costs from using cheap fuels, very low maintenance needs, high plant availability, and no efficiency losses at partial load. The document also includes a cost analysis comparing the operational and capital costs of equivalent 110RT absorption and compression systems, finding the absorption system results in lower total annual operating costs.

Vapour Absorption Refrigeration System

And
Vapour Compression Refrigeration System
Refrigeration:

*Process of reducing & maintaining the temperature of a body below the


general temperature of its surroundings.
OR
*Process of removing the heat from a substance under a controlled
condition.
OR
*Continuous Extraction of heat from a body whose temperature is already
below the temperature of its surroundings.
Types of Refrigeration:

1)Vapour Compression Refrigeration System


2)Vapour Absorption Refrigeration System
Advantage of Vapour Absorption Machine (VAM)over
Compression Cycle Refrigeration Plant
Vapour Absorption Machine Compression Cycle Refrigeration
(VAM) Plant
1)low running cost on cheap fuels like 1)High running cost due to Electricity as Energy
-Agro fuels
Input
-Furnace oil
-Waste heat
2)High maintenance cost
2)Very low maintenance cost due to no 3)Frequent outage on plant need stand by
reciprocating parts having high wear & tear compressor
3)High plant availability due to no reciprocating 4)Loss of efficiency at part load due to fixed
parts mechanical losses & motor electrical losses
4)No loss of efficiency at part load. Efficiency
5)Possibility of fouling due to lube oil on
improves at part load
5)No fouling of evaporator surfaces due to evaporator surfaces
lubricating oil. 6)Large D.G set needed on standby
6)Small size standby D.G set is sufficient 7)High foundation cost due to reciprocating
7)Low foundation cost due to no reciprocating compressor
parts
8)low life of compressor
8)Long life plant At least 25 years
9)loss of efficiency with usage due to compressor
9)No loss of efficiency with usage
parts wear & tear
