How will cooling towers inprove the efficiency of power stations?
The efficiency of the Rankine cycle depends on extracting as much energy from the steam flow through the turbine as possible, and to do this you need to have as low a vacuum in the condenser as possible. The lower the temperature of the cooling water flow through the condenser, the lower the vacuum that can be achieved. Cooling towers are often the best solution, though plants on a large lake or the ocean can use direct cooling supplies from that source and this may give better efficiency. It all depends on the cooling water temperature that can be achieved.
How is a vacuum cleaner like a real tornado?
Both a vacuum cleaner and a tornado generate low pressure that pulls air inward.
Why do the particles move faster in a vacuum?
Particles do not move faster in a vacuum. Particles move faster when the temperature increases.
Is the center of a tornado extremely low pressure?
Yes. The pressure at the center of a tornado is very low, though not a vacuum.
When is the most heat removed from refrigerant in the condensing process?
When the temperature of the air passing over the condenser is very low. Ex: Home A/c with out condenser, More heat can be removed if the out door ambient is 60f compared to 90f. Efficiency also increases with this.
What should be the possible reasons of vacuum drop of turbine?
In the low pressure side of a steam turbine, the vacuum is maintained by the condensation of steam in the condenser. At high loads, the condenser may not satisify the demand, allowing steam to remain gaseous for a longer period of time. This can cause pressure to rise.
Why hotwell level is maintained in condenser?
High hotwell level will get the cooling water tubes of condenser submerged in the condensate hence cooling efect will be reduced consequentaly vacuum will drop. Low hotwell level will lead to low suction pressure of Condensate Extraction Pump hence it may lead to cavitation.
Why is a condenser called a condenser?
The reason why it is called a barometric condenser is because it makes contact and it is a long vertical pipe into which it condensates and cools the liquid flow to accomplish the removal of pressure. It is also stated that when the pump is used the system is called a low level barometric condenser.
What damages air conditioners?
-dirty filters. -low refrigerant. -dirty evaporator coil and condenser. -too much refrigerant in the system. -poor installation, no vacuum. -clogged up copper lines. -no dryer filters.
Is the condenser of an Air Condition unit part of the low side or the high side?
The condenser is on the high pressure (discharge) side of the system.
Where is orifice tube located in a 2003 jeep wrangler?
The orifice is located in the low side hard pipe at the condenser outlet. This is the hard pipe which goes from the condenser to the evaporator with the low side port.
Where is the AC low side service port on a 1986 Cadillac Deville?
IF U look @ the Condenser & find the line that coemes from the top of IT-THATS NOT THE LOW Pressure-Trace the other line @ the bottom of the Condenser & U will find the LOW port.
Where is the low side on a 1999 Chevy S-10?
it is on the A/C Condenser
What causes low suction in an hvac-r system?
blocked condenser
Does an air condition unit uses a condenser If so is it on the low side or high side?
Yes. The condenser is on the high side, and high pressure vapor goes from the compressor outlet directly to the condenser inlet.
Can you stand on the dwarf planet Eris?
You would need to be in a suit that was able to withstand a Vacuum and some seriously low tempereatures, but you could stand on its surface. The surface gravity is low, since the overall mass of the planet is quite small, less than 10% of the Earths gravity.
Where is the low press side on condensor on 95 yukon?
The condenser does not have a low pressure side, because the condenser is not on the low pressure side of the system - it is on the high pressure side, and refrigerant going into the system is at high pressure throughout the whole of the condenser. The high pressure side of an AC system begins at the compressor outlet and ends at the metering device inlet (refrigerant leaves the compressor outlet and goes directly into the condenser inlet). The low pressure side runs from the metering device outlet to the compressor inlet.
