VAPOUR ABSORPTION SYSTEM
The main components of ammonia vapour absorption refrigeration system are,
• Heating coil
• Generator
• Analyzer
• Rectifier
• Condenser
• Expansion valve
• Evaporator
• Absorber
• Heat exchanger
• Pump
• Pressure reducing valve
Construction
• Heating coil – It is used to make Strong solution of ammonia from storage.
• Generator – It creates ammonia vapour from strong solution.
• Analyzer – It is used to remove the water content in ammonia vapour. It sends dry ammonia to condenser.
• Condenser – The main function is to condensate the dry vapour ammonia into liquid ammonia partially.
• Expansion valve – It is used to control the flow rate. Also it makes evaporator pressure on liquid refrigerant, before the liquid ammonia sent to the evaporator.
• Evaporator – The partially evaporated ammonia absorbs heat from evaporator and it produces required cooling effect.
• Absorber – In absorber, week solution of ammonia will becomes strong solution of ammonia vapour.
• Pump – It is used to transfer strong solution of ammonia vapour to the generator by through the heat exchanger.
• Heat exchanger – it is used to preheat the strong solution of ammonia. Also it transfers weak solution of ammonia from generator to absorber.
Working
• A high pressure ammonia vapour is generated by the generator.
• This ammonia vapour contains some water molecules and it sent to analyzer.
• In analyzer water content is removed from the strong ammonia vapour. Dry ammonia is passed to the condenser.
• In condenser dry ammonia vapour is partially condensed to liquid ammonia.
• Expansion valve makes the evaporator pressure on partially liquid ammonia before it entering in evaporator
• In evaporator it absorbs heat from the place to be refrigerant. So that the phase of ammonia changes to liquid. Then it is passed into the absorber.
• In absorber weak solution of ammonia becomes strong solution of ammonia (partially).
• Then the strong solution of ammonia is pumped to heat exchanger.
• In heat exchanger heart is transfer to partially strong solution from the strong solution produced by the generator.
• Pressure reducing valve is used to control the pressure of the solution.
• Finally the solution is passed into the generator.
