chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 Refrigeration Plant Compressors are noisy, located in Plant Room or on roof deck, on mass concrete base, separated from floor by a layer of cork or rubber. 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition Building Services Engineering, 4th edition

26/12/2018 Refrigerant Provides Cooling Shell and tube refrigerant condenser provides warm, 29oC liquid refrigerant to the TEV TEV Evaporator 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition
15
chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 Condenser Function The compressors raise the pressure of the refrigerant vapour to 10.0 bar (1.0 bar = 1.0 atmosphere, approx.) and around 60oC. This hot gas is condensed to liquid in the shell of the condenser. TEV Condenser 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition
16
chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 Condenser Function The cooled liquid refrigerant at 29oC and 10.0 bar passes to the TEV. TEV Condenser 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition
17
chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 TEV Function The TEV drops the pressure rise created by the compressor. Liquid refrigerant at 29oC and 10.0 bar passes through the resistance of the TEV to 5oC liquid at 4.0 bar, with some flash vapour. TEV Condenser 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition
18
chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 Evaporator The cold refrigerant liquid at 5oC is fully evaporated into vapour as it passes through the tubes of the evaporator and rises to 20oC prior to the compressor inlet.. TEV Evaporator Condenser 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition

chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 Condenser Cooling Now you understand the complete refrigeration cycle. The missing part is how to reject heat from the condenser, i.e. cool the building and system. Where does it go to? TEV 5oC 20oC Evaporator 50oC 60oC Compressor 29oC Condenser 20oC 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition

26/12/2018 Cooling Tower Outside air enters the cooling tower at up to 35oC db, 21oC wb, blown through by an axial or centrifugal fan. Condenser cooling water is circulated from the condenser, removing heat from the building, condensing refrigerant into liquid. 29oC Refrigerant vapour enters at 50oC 35oC Refrigerant liquid leaves at 29oC Condenser 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition

chapter 5 Ventilation and Air Conditioning
26/12/2018 What have we learned? Indoor air at 27oC is cooled by a chilled water coil at 6oC to 15oC Refrigerant at 5oC cools the chilled water Compressor raises refrigerant to 50oC Refrigerant is condensed at 29oC Liquid refrigerant evaporates at 5oC, returns to compressor Condenser water cooled by outside air 26 December 2018 Building Services Engineering, 4th edition
