An introduction to refrigeration. Using a simple refrigeration loop containing compression, cooling, expansion and evaporation stages; this model can be used to develop a basic understanding of the fundamentals of refrigeration. All the associated control loops are including within the model allowing a user to run the refrigeration loop under a full range of conditions, to demonstrate the refrigeration cycle. A fully functional ESD system is used for start up of the compressor.
The model allows an introduction to the key components of this standard refrigeration method. The model may be run to provide all the operating points needed to plot the standard refrigeration cycle diagram, at a number of operating conditions. A full set of instrumentation allows the relationships between temperature, pressure, flow and power and efficiencies to be checked against model performance.
The model includes a comprehensive set of Assignments, and a full Trend Chart package, and an alarms history with acknowledge facility.
The model may be used for whole class teaching, or for trainees to use individually.
The above screen shot shows with just one of the three controller faceplates selected and the 'User Guide' tab.
