1.A) b) Classification of Compressor 02

Marks
Hermetic compressor:
A hermetic or sealed compressor is one in which both compressor and motor are confined in 02 marks
a single outer welded steel shell. The motor and compressor are directly coupled on the same
shaft, with the motor inside the refrigeration circuit. Thus the need for a shaft seal with the
consequent refrigerant leakage problem was eliminated. All the refrigerant pipeline
connections to the outer steel shell are by welding or brazing. The electrical conductors to the
motor are taken out of the steel shell by sealed terminals made of fused glass. Hermetic
compressors are ideal for small refrigeration systems, where continuous maintenance
(replenishing refrigerant and oil charge etc) cannot be ensured. Hence they are widely used in
domestic refrigerators, room air conditioners etc. Since, the motor is in the refrigerant circuit,
the efficiency of hermetic compressor based systems is lower as the heat dissipated by the
motor and compressor becomes a part of the system load. Also material compatibility
between the electrical winding, refrigerant and oil must be ensured. Since the complete
system is kept in a welded steel shell, the hermetic compressors are not meant for servicing.
A variation of hermetic compressor is a semi-hermetic compressor, in which the bolted

c) i) Dry Bulb Temperature:
The temperature of the air measured by the ordinary thermometer is called as the dry bulb 01 Mark
temperature of air, commonly referred as DBT. When ordinary thermometer is exposed to Each
the atmosphere, it indicates the dry bulb temperature, which is nothing but the atmospheric 4x1=4
temperature.
ii) Wet Bulb Temperature:
The wet bulb temperature of air is also measured by the ordinary thermometer, but the only
difference is that the bulb of the thermometer is covered by the wet cloth. Temperature of
the ordinary air measured by the thermometer when it is covered by wet cloth or wick is
called as the wet bulb temperature, commonly referred to as WBT
iii) Dew Point Temperature:
The temperature at which the water vapor within the air at some temperature starts
condensing is called as the dew point temperature of the air or DPT. When the dew is

formed the air is said to be in saturated condition.
iv) Specific Humidity:
Specific humidity is defined as the proportion of the mass of water vapor and mass of the
moist air sample (including both dry air and the water vapor); it is closely related to
humidity ratio and always lower in value.
d) Extended Plenum System: 02 Mark
In the extended plenum systems, a large main supply trunk of equal size is connected
directly to the air handler. Smaller branch ducts and run-outs are connected to the trunk.
The arrangement provides airflows that are easily balanced and can be easily designed to be
located inside the conditioned space of the building.
The principal design limitation of the extended plenum is the maximum length of the main
supply trunk (of single size), which is usually limited to about 24 feet. When this length is
exceeded, pressure tends to build up toward the end of the duct, resulting in too much air
flow near the ends and insufficient air flow in branches closer to the air handler.

1.B Attempt any ONE of the following-
a) The simple absorption system is not very economical. In order to make the system more
practical, it is fitted with an analyser, a rectifier and two heat exchangers as shown in fig.
These accessories help to performance and working of the plant, as discussed below:
Page No: ____/ N

(Autonomous)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
1 mark
1.Analyser.
When ammonia is vaporized in the generator, some water is also vaporized and will flow
into the condenser, along with the ammonia vapours in the simple system. If these
unwanted water particles are not removed before entering into the condenser, they will
enter into the expansion value where they freeze and choke the pipeline. In order to remove
these unwanted particles flowing to the condenser, an analyser is used. The analyser may be
built as an intergral part of the generator or made as a separate piece of equipment. It
consists of a series of trays mounted above the generator. The strong solution from the
absorber and the aqua from the rectifier are introduced at the top of the analyser and flow
downward over the trays and into the generator. In this way, considerable liquid surface
area is exposed to the vapour rising from the generator. The vapour is cooled and most of
the water vapour condenses, so that mainly ammonia vapour (approximately 99%) leaves
the top of the analyser. Since the aqua is heated by the vapour, less external heat is required
in the generator. 1 mark
2. Rectifier. In case the water vapours are not completely removed in the analyser, a closed
type vapour cooler called rectifier (also known as dehydrator) is used. It is generally water
cooled and may be of the double pipe, shell and coil or shell and tube type. Its function is to
cool further the ammonia vapours leaving the analyser so that remaining water vapours are
condensed. Thus, only dry or anhydrous ammonia vapours flow to the condenser. The
condensate from the rectifier is returned to the top of the analyser by a drip return pipe.
1 mark
3. Heat exchangers.
The heat exchanger provided between the pump and the generator is used to cool the weak
hot solution returning from the generator to the absorber. The heat removed from the weak
solution raises the temperature of the strong solution leaving the pump and going to
analyser and generator. This operation reduces the heat supplied to the generator and the
amount of cooling required for the absorber. Thus the economy of the plant increases. The
heat exchanger provided between the condenser and the evaporator may also be called
liquid sub-cooler. In this heat exchanger, the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser is sub-
cooled by the low temperature ammonia vapour from the evaporator as shown in fig. this
sub-cooled liquid is now passed to the expansion value and then to the evaporator. n this
system, the net refrigerating effect is the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator.
The total energy supplied to the system is the sum of work done by the pump and the heat
supplied in the generator.

Practical Vapour Absorption System
b) Domestic Refrigerator : `04 Mark

The internal parts of the refrigerator are ones that carry out actual working of the
refrigerator. Some of the internal parts are located at the back of the refrigerator, and some
inside the main compartment of the refrigerator.
1) Refrigerant: The working substance used to make refrigeration is called the refrigerant.
The refrigerant run through all the inner parts of the refrigerator. It is the refrigerant that
carries out the cooling effect in the evaporator. It absorbs the heat from the body to be
cooled in the evaporator (chillier or freezer) and throws it to the atmosphere via condenser.
The refrigerant keeps on recalculating through all the inner parts of the refrigerator in cycle.
2) Compressor: The compressor is to be found at the rear of the refrigerator and in the
bottom area. The compressor sucks the refrigerant from the evaporator and discharges it at
high pressure and temperature. The compressor is driven by the electric motor and it is the
major power intense devise of the refrigerator. In most of the refrigerator reciprocating and
hermitically sealed compressor are used.
3) Condenser: In refrigerator air-cooled condenser is used since, the constriction of air-
cooled condenser is very simple. The condenser is the thin coil of copper tubing situated at
the back of the refrigerator. The refrigerant from the compressor come in the condenser
where it is cooled by the atmospheric air thus losing heat absorbed by it in the evaporator
and the compressor. To increase the heat transfer rate of the condenser, it is finned
externally.
4) Expansion valve or the capillary: The refrigerant leave-taking the condenser enters the
expansion devise, which is the capillary tube in case of the household refrigerators. The
capillary is the thin copper tubing made up of number of turns of the copper coil. When the
refrigerant is passed through the capillary its pressure and temperature drops down
suddenly. And it is a constant enthalpy process.
5) Evaporator or freezer: The refrigerant at very low pressure and temperature enters the
evaporator or the freezer. The evaporator is the heat exchanger made up of several turns of
copper or aluminium tubing. In domestic refrigerators the plate types of evaporator is used
as shown in the figure above. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the substance to be
cooled in the evaporator, gets evaporated and it then sucked by the compressor. This cycle
keeps on repeating.
6) Temperature control devise or thermostat: To control the temperature inside the
refrigerator there is thermostat, whose sensor is connected to the evaporator. The thermostat
setting can be done by the round knob inside the refrigerator compartment. When the set
Page No: ____/ N

(Autonomous)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
temperature is reached inside the refrigerator the thermostat stops the electric supply to the
compressor and compressor stops and when the temperature falls below certain level it
restarts the supply to the compressor.
7) Defrost system: The defrost system of the refrigerator helps removing the excess ice
from the surface of the evaporator. The defrost system can be operated manually by the
thermostat button or there is automatic system comprising of the electric heater and the
timer.

b) Flooded Evaporator 02 Mark

ii)
A flooded evaporator type with float control valve shown in fig. the liquid flow on low
passages passes the tubes upwords, and boils due to heat adsorption from the warmer
substance, which is cooled. The resulted vapor so formed on boiling bubbles up in flash
chamber, where separates liquid from vapor.
Separated vapor passes to compressor, and liquid flows back to the evaporator. The flash
chamber collects the vapor formed by liquid refrigerant boiling in the evaporator, and
vapor obtained in the expansion device.
In a flooded type evaporator refrigerant liquid level is maintained. Float valve is used as
throttling device.
The heat transfer efficiency increases because the entire surface is in contact with the liquid
refrigerant. But the refrigerant charge is relatively large as compared to dry expansion type.
The accumulator or flash chamber is used to prevent liquid Cray over to compressor. The
evaporator coil is contacted to accumulator and the liquid flow from the accumulator to the
Page No: ____/ N
(Autonomous)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
evaporator coil is generally by gravity. The vapor formed by the vaporizing of the liquid in
the coil being lighter rises up and passes on to the top of the accumulator from where it
enters the suction line.
In some cases liquid eliminators are provided in the accumulator top to prevent the possible
carry over of liquid to suction line. Also a liquid suction heat exchanger is used on the
suction line to superheat the suction vapor.

of a large restaurant for air conditioning are Sensible Heat and Latent Heat are as
follows
04 Marks
1. Sensible heat gain.
When there is a direct addition of heat to the enclosed space, a gain in the sensible heat is
said to occur. This sensible heat is to be removed during the process of summer air
conditioning. The sensible heat gain may occur due to any one or all of the following
sources of heat transfer:
(a) The heat flowing into the building by conduction through exterior walls,
floors, ceilings, doors and windows due to the temperature difference on their two
sides.
(b) The heat received from solar radiation. It consists of
(i) The heat transmitted directly through glass of windows, ventilators or doors, and
(ii) The heat absorbed by walls and roofs exposed to solar radiation and later on transferred
to the room by conduction.
(c) The heat conducted through interior partition from rooms in the same building which are
not conditioned.
(d) The heat given off by lights, motors, machinery, cooking operations, industrial
processes etc.
(e) The heat liberated by the occupants.
(f) The heat carried by the outside air which leaks in (infiltrating air) through the cracks in
doors, windows, and through their frequent openings.
(g) The heat gain through the walls of ducts carrying conditioned air through unconditioned
space in the building
(h) The heat gain from the fan work.

04 Marks
2. Latent heat gain.
When there is an addition of water vapour to the air of enclosed space, a gain in latent heat
is said to occur. This latent heat is to be removed during the process of summer air-
conditioning. The latent heat gain may occur due to any one or all of the following sources:
(a) The heat gain due to moisture in the outside air entering by infiltration.
(b) The heat gain due to condensation of moisture from occupants.
(c) The heat gain due to condensation of moisture from any process such as cooking foods

which takes place within the conditioned space.
(d) The heat gain due to moisture passing directly into the conditioned space through
permeable walls or partitions from the outside or from adjoining regions where the water
vapour pressure is higher.

cooled and generally
dehumidified. Schematic diagram
is shown in figure. The outside air
flows through damper and mixes
up with recirculated air .which is obtained from air conditioned space. The mixed air passes
through a filter to remove dirt, dust and other impurities. The air now passes through
cooling coil. The coil has a temperature much less than required dry bulb temperature of the
air in the conditioned space. The cooled air passes through a perforated membrane and
loses its moisture in the condensed form which is collected in a sump. Air now passes
through a heating coil which heats up the air slightly, in order to bring air to requisite DBT
and relative humidity. Now conditioned air passes to conditioned space by a fan. From the
conditioned space the part of air is exhausted to atmosphere by exhaust fans or ventilators.
The remaining part of the used air or recirculated air is again conditioned as shown in the
figure. The outside air is sucked and made to mix with recirculated air in order to make up

refrigeration systems on earth’s surface is known as “Ozone Layer Depletion”.
In the outer atmosphere of earth up to 50 Km, there is layer called Stratosphere.

In this layer there is more concentration of Ozone gas. This ozone layer forms a
protective layer around earth’s surface which absorbs the Harmful Ultraviolet rays
(UV) from Sun’s rays and allows only beneficial light and heat rays to reach on
earth’s surface. Prevention of UV rays reaching to earth’s surface protects human and

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Depletion of Ozone layer leads to formation of “Ozone Holes” in the Ozone layer and
through these ozone holes Harmful Ultra Violet rays enters into the atmosphere
endangering the earth’s biolife.
Due to “Ozone Layer Depletion” the atmosphere allows a large percentage of the rays of
visible light from the sun to reach the earth surface and heat it. Out of the incident radiation
some infrared radiation is trapped by the earth atmosphere due to molecules of carbon
dioxide and water vapour in the atmosphere and causes the earth’s surface and lower
atmospheric layer to warm to high temperature. This is called as global warming.

assume the season as summer or winter respectively.
In summer season, by pass damper is almost closed and most of air passes through cooling
coil. The cooling coil may be evaporator of refrigeration system or coil through which
chilled water is passed. All air is passed through heating coil. In winter season, by pass
damper is in almost open position. Most of the air is directly passed to heating coil by
passing cooling coil.
