How the compressor working?
Refrigerant enters the compressor inlet as a low pressure vapor. The compressor increases the pressure, and discharges it as a high pressure vapor.
What does AC compressor do?
Cycles refrigerant through the system and changes the state of the refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor.
What is the function of the compressor air conditioning?
Well, like the name implies, it compresses. It creates the pressure by which the refrigerant (and also the compressor oil) flows through the AC system. Refrigerant enters the compressor as a low pressure vapor, and is compressed into a high pressure vapor. In the process, this heats up the refrigerant, which is important as air conditioning works through a heat exchange. This high pressure vapor travels to the condenser, where the heat which has been absorbed by the refrigerant is exchanged rapidly to the ambient air through the fins in the condenser.
What state is refrigerant entering the compressor?
Low pressure vapor
What is refrigerant as it leaves an auto AC compressor?
High pressure vapor.
Why does refrigerant pressure decrese when charging as vapor?
When charging refrigerant as vapor, the refrigerant is added to the system in its gaseous form. As the vapor enters the system, it needs to condense into a liquid in order to increase the pressure. This condensation process causes the pressure to decrease initially before the pressure starts to rise as more vapor enters and condenses into liquid form.
Does refrigerant enter the compressor as a low temperature low pressure gas?
Yes. The basic components of the refrigeration system are the refrigerant, compressor, condenser and receiver, expansion device and the evaporator. One cycle: Refrigerant travels to Compressor (A) to Condenser (B) to Expansion device (C) to evaporator (D). The refrigerant gas at low pressure and temperature is drawn into the compressor. The gas is compressed to a higher pressure, which causes an increase in the temperature. The refrigerant gas at a high pressure and temperature passes to the condenser (point B), where it is cooled (the refrigerant gives up its latent heat) and then condenses to a liquid. The high pressure, low temperature liquid is collected in the receiver. The high pressure liquid is routed through an expansion valve (point C), where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in pressure. That pressure reduction causes part of the liquid to immediately vaporize or flash. The vapor and remaining liquid are cooled to the saturation temperature (boiling point) of the liquid at the reduced pressure. At this point most of the refrigerant is a liquid. The boiling point of the liquid is low, due to the low pressure. When the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (point D), it absorbs heat from the process and boils. The refrigerant gas is now at low pressure and temperature, and enters the suction side of the compressor, completing the cycle.
What is the component of a refrigeration system which changes a high pressure vapor to a high pressure liquid?
A brief discussion of the operating vapor-compression cycle is helpful to indicate other potential refrigeration problems in real systems. In the basic cycle, slightly subcooled refrigerant leaves the condenser at high pressure and flows into the liquid receiver if one is present. The refrigerant then enters the throttling device (capillary tube, TXV, etc.) where the pressure is dropped. It then enters the evaporator as a two-phase mixture (liquid and vapor) and evaporates or boils at low temperature, adsorbing heat. Slightly superheated refrigerant vapor exits the evaporator and enters the suction line accumulator, if one is present (used to trap any transient liquid slugs). The refrigerant vapor then enters the compressor where the pressure and temperature are increased as the compressor compresses the refrigerant vapor. The vapor leaving the compressor is superheated, and the compressor discharge is the hottest point in the cycle. This refrigerant is cooled and condensed in the condenser where heat is rejected, and the refrigerant is condensed to liquid. Refrigerant actually leaves the condenser slightly subcooled (subcooled liquid) to assure condensation has been complete. Any non-condensable vapors in the system will be unable to condense in the condenser and will appear as gas bubbles in the condensed liquid stream. These non-condensables may collect in the condenser and displace refrigerant from the condenser heat exchanger, thereby reducing the effective surface area of the condenser.The compressor changes the low pressure vapor to high pressure vapor sending it threw the condenser to cool and turn it back into liquid.
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
Is refrigerant leaving a compressor in a cars air conditioning system high pressure vapor high pressure liquid or low pressure vapor?
Refrigerant leaving a compressor in a car's air conditioning system is a high pressure, high temperature vapor. This vapor carries heat energy away from the evaporator coil inside the car, allowing the refrigerant to absorb heat from the cabin air and cool it down before circulating it back.
How is the refrigerant cylinder pressure kept above the system pressure when a system is being charged with the vapor from a cylinder?
Add refrigerant vapor on the low side of the system ,the compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant on the high side of the system and lowers the pressure on the low side
