Vapour Compression Refrigerator (VCR)•It Uses vapour as a refrigerant which condenses and evaporates alternatively.•In evaporation it absorbs latent heat from the space to be cooled while in condensation, it rejects heat to atmosphere.

Functions of Various components of VCRCompressor: To remove vapour from
evaporator and increase the pressure and temperature, to be condensed in condenser.
Condenser: Surface for heat transfer from hot refrigerant vapour to condensing medium.
Expansion valve: To provide the proper amount of liquid refrigerant and reduces pressure of liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator.
Evaporator: To provide a heat transfer medium through which low temperature liquid refrigerant can absorb heat from the space to be cooled.

Domestic vapour Compression refrigerator:•Consists of and evaporator installed in freezing compartment.•One end of evaporator is connected to suction side of the compressor and other to the condenser through the throttle valve.•Delivery side is connected to condenser.•It is usually specified in terms of liters.
![Page 16: Refrigiration and air conditioning by abhishek singh](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c73c1a28ab26728b631f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Vapour Absorption Refrigeration • In VAR refrigerant from evaporator is
absorbed in absorber.• Ammonia is generally used as
refrigerant due to its property of being absorbed easily by water at low pressure and temperature, and at high temperature its solubility in water is reduced.
• So when heated it gets separated from water.
• Water acts as an absorbent.
![Page 17: Refrigiration and air conditioning by abhishek singh](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c73c1a28ab26728b631f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Vapour Absorption refrigerationLow pressure T and P vapour ammonia from evaporator enters absorber where it is absorbed by weak solution coming from generator through throttle valve.During absorption process, heat is released and rejected to cooling water. This solution is pumped back into generator, where it is heated and h3 separates from water and this water flows back into absorber where it is cooled by and external cooling source.

Air refrigeration (Bell Coleman Cycle)Process 1-2: Air fromcold storage enters aircompressor, due to which its pressure and temperatureincreases.Process 2–3: Hot airis cooled and temp. isreduced.
![Page 19: Refrigiration and air conditioning by abhishek singh](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c73c1a28ab26728b631f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Air refrigeration (Bell Coleman Cycle)Process 3-4: Air is expanded isentropically, as a result T and P reduces and work is obtained.Process 4-1: From expander air passes through cold storagewhere heat is remove and again cycle is repeated.

Advantages of Air refrigeration1. Free availability of air2. Weight of air refrigerator per ton
is low, so this can be used in air crafts and missiles cooling.
![Page 22: Refrigiration and air conditioning by abhishek singh](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c73c1a28ab26728b631f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Disadvantages of Air refrigeration1. Very low COP2. Large power requirement3. More space4. Volume of air to be circulated is
more compared to other refrigerators. This sets the limitation of its usage to small capacity plants.
