I should say it is closer to Isothermal process when the air in a compressor is cooled in between stages (Of course for multi stage compressor).

The cooling brings the work from Adabatic process towards the isothermal process (constant temperature) which increases the efficiency.

Same as an air compressor only it is a sealed system filled with freon.

When freon is compressed it becomes a liquid, as it expands or turns into a gas it becomes very cold which is why it works well for cooling.

The suction side tubing is larger than the high pressure side so the liquid freon is constantly changing into a gas in order to fill the space or vacuum, at the same time the gas that has been pressurized becomes quite warm so it needs to be cooled.

air con compressor compress refrigerant to higher pressure. Ideal case is Isentropic compression which is reversible.

What is true about isothermal process?

An isothermal process is one which does not take in or give off heat; it is perfectly insulated. Iso = same, thermal = heat. In real life there are very few isothermal processes. Heat loss accounts for most process inefficiencies.


Explain the Difference between adiabatic and isothermal compression?

"Adiabatic process" refers to processes that take place in a closed system with no heat interaction with it's surroundings. "Isentropic process" refers to processes that take place in a closed system with no heat interaction with the surroundings (adiabatic process) and internally reversible. This is, no internal generation of entropy, entropy stays constant, which is what is meant by "isentropic". We can also say, an isentropic process is one where entropy stays constant, and no heat interaction of the system with the surroundings takes place (adiabatic process). Or, an adiabatic process can be irreversible, or reversible (isentropic).


What is isothermal change definition?

Isothermal changes are those changes which when take place, there is an exchange of energy between the system and surroundings so that temperature of the system doesn't change. Such processes have to be carried out in a conducting vessel.


What does the compressor on a heat pump do in heat mode?

The exact same thing it does in the cooling mode, the change between modes of operation does not take place in the compressor.

I have a 1980 Chevy Camaro and I want to take the compressor off and run it without it. Does anyone know of something I can put in place of the compressor to run my belt on?
