MERITS & DEMERITS OF VAPOUR SYSTEM OVER AIR REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

MERITS:
1. C.O.P. is quite high as the working of the cycle is very near to
that of reversed Carnot cycle.

2. When used on ground level the running cost of vapour

compression refrigeration system is only 1/5 of air refrigeration system. 3. For the same refrigeration effect the size of the evaporator is

smaller.
4. The required temperature of the evaporator can be achieved simply by adjusting the throttle valve of the same unit.

 DEMERITS
1. Initial cost is high. 2. the major disadvantages are

a) Inflammability
b) Leakage of vapours c) Toxity.

PULL DOWN CHARACTRISTCS

PURPOSE OF THE TEST COMPARE THE VALUES FOR DIFFERENT REFRIGERATORS FOR DIFFERENT REFRIGERENTS TESTING OF REFRIGERATORS ACCORDING TO ISI SPECIFICATIONS ENVIORNMENT TEMPERATURE MAINTAINED AT 430C. NO-LOAD TEST ADJUST THERMOSTAT CABNET TEMP. 70C. PURPOSE: FIND PULL DOWN PERIOD NO LOAD POWER CONSUMPTION % RUNNING TIME PULL DOWN PERIOD : TIME REQUIRED TO REACH THE SPECIFIED TEMP. INSIDE THE CABNET AFTER SWITCHING ON THE UNIT.

Ice making time test

For this test: Stable operating conditions after Pull-down test Quantity of 0.5 kg of water at 30 10C in std tray kept in the freezer Time for each ON and OFF is noted. After specified time of 3 hrs., ice tray is examined for the formation of ice. Running time of the unit during 3 hrs of operation is obtained from DAS DAS to monitor N-OFF cycle. This running time of the unit is the ice making time. For Freon -12 refrigerator: pull-down period 90 min for 160L capacity ice making time 125 min.
