Refrigeration Cycle Test Rig

Listing ID #3635215

Range of Experiments:

• To study all components used in refrigeration system.
• To study the Vapor compression Refrigeration cycle.
• To determine the Refrigeration Effect, Work Input, Actual C.O.P., Carnot C.O.P., Theoretical C.O.P., Relative C.O.P., Ton of Refrigeration, and Plant Efficiency.

Experimental Setup :

• Compressor - Hermetically sealed compressor.
• Condenser - Air Cooled condenser made out of copper pipe & Aluminum fins of matching capacity with fan cooling.
• Evaporator - Copper Coil immersed in water. The evaporator is insulated from outside to prevent heat loss.
• Expansion device - Capillary Tube & Thermostatic expansion valve.
• Energy Meter - One each for power measurement of compressor & evaporator heater.
• Pressure Gauge - 2 Nos. for H.P., L.P. measurement
• Suitable filter/drier.
• Hand Shut Off type Service valve.
• Dimmerstat to control power supply to heater.
• Rotameter for Refrigerant flow measurement.
• Immersion type electric heater.
• Solenoid valve Castle Italy make.
• Set of thermocouples.

Control Panel :

• 12 Channel Digital Temperature Indicator
• HP-LP Cutout - Make Ranco /Danfoss or Equivalent.
• Switches - For compressor, condenser fan, solenoid valve & evaporator heater.
• Voltmeter - 0 - 250 V.
• Ammeter - 0 - 15 A. 6. Thermostat : Ranco or equivalent
