The evaporator
Refrigerant enters a direct expansion evaporator as a saturated liquid vapor mix and leaves as a superheated vapor.
If a train leaves Chicago how long does it take to go to NYC? Cannot be answered, the question is incomplete.
In dray expansion evaporator, the liquid refrigerant is generally fed by an expansion valve. the expansion valve controls the rate of flow of refrigerant to the evaporator. In the evaporator the liquid refrigerant is vaporized and superheated by the time it reaches to the end of evaporator. At inlet of the evaporator, the refrigerant is predominantly in the liquid form with a small amount of vapor formed as a result of flashing at the expansion valve. the liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator, more and more refrigerant is vaporized by the load. according to the load, the liquid will come into evaporator and vaporize and reaches to superheat at the end of the evaporator. The inside of the evaporator is far from dry but wetted with liquid so named as dry expansion evaporator.
I'm just a student of HVACR and I think a lack of refrigerant will be indicated by a warm an evaporator or the outlet end of the evaporator.
Refrigerant is superheated when leaving the evaporator so that the compressor is not getting liquid along with the gas, becauseÊliquid can cause damage the compressor.
the point where refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator. Generally the center of the evaporator.
An evaporator in a refrigeration system works by passing warm air over it's coils.
Evaporator is said to be flooded type if liquid refrigerant covers the entire heat transfer surface. This type of evaporator uses a float type of expansion valve. An evaporator is called dry type when a portion of the evaporator is used for superheating the refrigerant vapour after its evaporation.
