Imagine there was a container with an infinite amount of saturated refrigerant, and this refrigerant was both non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Connecting this container to a compressor inlet would allow pressure control inside the container to a desired setpoint. Since the refrigerant is saturated, adjusting the pressure also changes the refrigerant’s boiling temperature. This allows […]
Ammonia Is Quickly Suppressed in this week’s edition of the Ammonia Week in Review… 12 Hospitalised After Ammonia Leak in Ice Plant at Munambam in Kochi – Leak was brought under control promptly by fire and services personnel. […keep reading] Ammonia Leak Under Control After Swift Response in Chhapra – An ammonia gas leak at a Chhapra cold storage […]
The ‘compressor’ is the heartbeat of the vapor-compression refrigeration system. Without it, there is no pressure differential to drive the movement of refrigerant throughout the system, and therefore, no cooling can take place. The vapor exiting the evaporator is piped to the compressor which stands ready to receive the vapor and compress it. The compression […]
Ammonia For The Repeat in this week’s edition of the Ammonia Week in Review… 2 Back-to-Back Anhydrous Ammonia Leaks Put Farmers on Alert – Upon arrival, firefighters determined the tank had not exploded but was instead releasing anhydrous ammonia from a front hose. Crews deployed a drone to monitor the situation from a safe distance and search for potential […]
Opening a thermodynamics textbook, it is stated that the purpose of a refrigeration system is to maintain a cold region at a temperature below the temperature of its surroundings. This can be accomplished by employing a vapor compression refrigeration system. To understand how a vapor compression refrigeration system works, let’s start with a familiar substance…“water”. […]
