What happens to a refrigerant when it is above the saturation temperature?
it remains in a vapor state
What is the refrigerant entering the metering or expansion device of a refrigeration system?
superheated vapor
What is a direct expansion evaporator?
Refrigerant enters a direct expansion evaporator as a saturated liquid vapor mix and leaves as a superheated vapor.
What is Definition of superheated vapor?
superheated vapor is a vapor that has been heated above its boiling point.
What is a brief description of the basic refrigeration cycle?
Starting at the compressor;Low pressure vapor refrigerant is compressed and discharged out of the compressor.The refrigerant at this point is a high temperature, high pressure, superheated vapor.The high pressure refrigerant flows to the condenser by way of the "Discharge Line".The condenser changes the high pressure refrigerant from a high temperature vapor to a low temperature liquid and leaves through the "Liquid Line".The high pressure refrigerant then flows through a filter dryer to the Thermal Expansion valve or TXV.The TXV meters the correct amount of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator.As the TXV meters the refrigerant, the high pressure liquid changes to a low pressure, low temperature, saturated vapor.This saturated vapor enters the evaporator and is changed to a low pressure dry vapor.The low pressure dry vapor is then returned to the compressor in the "Suction line".The cycle then starts over.
What is the state of refrigerant entering the compressor of a refrigeration system?
low temperature low pressure vapor
What is the Refrigerant entering the compressor of a refrigeration system is a?
low temperature low pressure vapor
What is meant by degree of superheat?
First of all, the term "superheated" generally refers to a vapor. This explanation refers to superheated vapor only. Superheat is the difference (in degrees of temperature) between a liquid's boiling point and the superheated vapor's actual temperature. For example; at sea level, the boiling point of water is 212ºF. As long as the temperature is 212ºF, you will have both liquid and vapor present. If you continue to add heat to the liquid/vapor mix, all the liquid will eventually become vapor. Additional heat added after no liquid remains will begin to increase the temperature above 212ºF. This resulting vapor is superheated. If you measure the temperature of water vapor to be 220ºF at 1 ATM, the vapor is superheated by 8ºF. The same analysis is true for any liquid/vapor, at any pressure and for any other temperature scale. i.e. R22 refrigerant is "saturated" (meaning both liquid and vapor are present) at 32ºF and 58PSIG. If you measure the pressure of R22 at 58PSIG but measure the temperature at 45ºF, you have measured 13 degrees of superheat. I hope this answer is useful to you. Bama Cracker Degree of superheat is the difference between the superheated temperature and the saturated temperature of the steam .
What is the state of refrigerant entering the compressor of the refrigeration system?
low temperature low pressure vapor
What is the state of the refrigerant entering the compressor of a refrigeration system?
low temperature low pressure vapor
Why does refrigerant pressure decrease in a refrigerant cylinder while charging with vapor?
When vapor refrigerant is pulled out of a cylinder the vapor is reduced and the liquid boils to replace the vapor that has left the cylinder.
How do you determine when enough vapor has entered the refrigeration system before you charge refrigerant liquid?
When the refrigerant saturation temperature increases to 36 degrees F.
