Liquid is sent to the evaporator (from recirculator,Supply vessel))and pushed through an expansion valve or a metered hand vavle and sprayed into a reduced pressure atmosphere( the evap coil).When pressure is reduced,tempature is reduced.Pressure on low side(suction side) 0-psi,misty saturated liquid is now -28 degrees.The now misty saturated vapor absorbs heat(heat in room brought to evaporator by means of fans drawing it in) and turns ammonia saturated liquid/ vapor into a gas.Which is then sucked back in to the compressor to get compressed to at-least 20 degress over ambient(outdoor) temp.That gets sent to a condenser (galvanized box with fans and a water pump to spray out of overhead nozzles to (rain) over pipes containing the ammonia)to condense hot vapor into liquid again.Liquid now gets sent to the receiver(holding vessel) and from there to the intercooler/sub-cooler to further cool the liquid.The colder the liquid the more heat it can pick up in the evaporator.And finally from the intercooler to the recirculator,which is used to pump out to the evaporator and to receive returning liquid from the evaporator, if there is any.

Can anhydrous ammonia become liquid ammonia?

Anhydrous ammonia is usually stored as a liquid by keeping it under pressure. It is more efficient to store it that way than as a gas.


What is the difference between ammonia and anhydrous ammonia and ammonium hydroxide?

Anhydrous ammonia is really just ammonia in fact. "Anhydrous" means without water, and anhydrous ammonia is just pure ammonia without water.It is to distinguish it from ammonia in water solutions because when added to water ammonia forms ammonium hydroxide:NH3 + H2O ---> NH4+ + OH-Ammonium hydroxide is frequently referred to as ammonia because you make it by adding ammonia to water, but it isn't really ammonia. It is much more commonly though because it is easier to handle (ammonia is a gas).See the Web Links for more information about ammonia.


What is the difference between anhydrous ammonia and aqua ammonia?

Anhydrous ammonia is standard, commercial grade ammonia. The term "anhydrous ammonia" emphasizes the absence of water in the material. Because ammonia boils at -33.34 °C, the liquid must be stored under high pressure or at low temperature. Aqua ammonia is another name for ammonium hydroxide, a solution of ammonia in water. This is the household ammonia offered in stores and used in some cleaning products.
