The term refrigeration means cooling a space, substance, or system to lower and/or maintain its temperature below the ambient one.
Types of Refrigeration System
There are three types of refrigeration systems they are as follows,
- Absorption Refrigeration.
- Evaporative Cooling.
- Thermoelectric Refrigeration.
- Mechanical refrigeration system
In chambers we use Mechanical refrigeration system
Mechanical Refrigeration System
Mechanical refrigeration often referred to simply as refrigeration, is a process by which heat is removed from a location using a man-made heat-exchange system. When the refrigerant enters the low-pressure cooling coil, the refrigerant changes state into a vapor and absorbs heat.
For this, we need a compressor and most used compressors are reciprocating and scroll compressors,
Reciprocating compressor
It is other wise called as piston compressor which is a positive displacement compressor that uses a piston by a crank shaft to deliver gases at high pressure,
Working
The intake gas enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft and is then discharged.
