  • Overview of Chiller Compressors
    Overview of Chiller Compressors Course No: M04-027 Credit: 4 PDH A. Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] OVERVIEW OF CHILLER COMPRESSORS Overview In HVAC industry, the refrigeration machine that produces chilled water is referred to as a “Chiller”. A chiller package operates either on the principles of vapor compression or vapor absorption. The vapor compression system uses mechanical energy in the form of electric motor to drive the cooling cycle whereas absorption chillers use heat to drive the process. The vapor compression chiller system, which is far more prominent in commercial buildings, consists of four major components: the compressor, evaporator, condenser and expansion device all packaged as a single unit. The classification of vapor compression chiller packages is generally by the type of compressor: centrifugal, reciprocating, and screw being the major ones. Chillers are the largest consumer of energy in a commercial building and it is therefore important to understand the relative benefits and limitations of various types in order to make the right economic decisions in chiller installation and operation. This course will talk about the type of compressor used in the water cooled chiller. The course is divided into 3 parts: Part - I: Types of Chiller Compressors Part – II: Comparison of Chiller Compressors Part –III: Economic Evaluation of Chiller Systems PART I - TYPES OF CHILLER COMPRESSORS Most cooling systems, from residential air conditioners to large commercial and industrial chillers, employ the refrigeration process known as the vapor compression cycle. At the heart of the vapor compression cycle is the mechanical compressor.

Vapor absorption refrigeration system: Working principle, Types and comparison with vapor compression system, Saving potential 4.1 Introduction The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration system transfers the heat energy from or to the products, or building environment. Energy in form of electricity or heat is used to power mechanical equipment designed to transfer heat from a colder, low-ener- gy level to a warmer, high-energy level. Refrigeration deals with the transfer of heat from a low temperature level at the heat source to a high temperature level at the heat sink by using a low boiling refrigerant. There are several heat transfer loops in refrigeration system as described below: Figure 4.1 Heat Transfer Loops In Refrigeration System In the Figure 4.1, thermal energy moves from left to right as it is extracted from the space and expelled into the outdoors through five loops of heat transfer: – Indoor air loop. In the leftmost loop, indoor air is driven by the supply air fan through a cool- ing coil, where it transfers its heat to chilled water. The cool air then cools the building space. – Chilled water loop. Driven by the chilled water pump, water returns from the cooling coil to the chiller’s evaporator to be re-cooled. – Refrigerant loop. Using a phase-change refrigerant, the chiller’s compressor pumps heat from the chilled water to the condenser water.

To explain how ATC’s chillers can heat as well as cool. • Heat of compression adds energy to refrigerant • Act of compression itself causes temperature to rise. • Electrical energy input to compressor enters refrigerant through conduction as refrigerant circulates. • Hot Gas Bypass (HGB) capacity control • Instead of allowing hot gaseous refrigerant to pass into the condenser to do conventional refrigeration, it is redirected into the evaporator via a discharge bypass valve (DBV or HGBV). 2 © Applied Thermal Control 2019 Reverse-Carnot Cycle Thermodynamic model used when chiller cools. 6 5 4 7 1.

  • Overview of Vapor Absorption Cooling Systems
    Overview of Vapor Absorption Cooling Systems Course No: M04-025 Credit: 4 PDH A. Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] Overview of Vapor Absorption Cooling Systems Course Content A vapor absorption chiller machine (VAM) is a machine that produces chilled water using a heat source rather than electrical input as in the more familiar vapor compression cycle. It seems unreasonable that cooling can be achieved with heat, but that is what occurs within an absorption chiller. Both vapor compression and absorption refrigeration cycles accomplish the removal of heat through the evaporation of a refrigerant at a low pressure and the rejection of heat through the condensation of the refrigerant at a higher pressure. The basic difference is that an electric chiller employs a mechanical compressor to create the pressure differences necessary to circulate the refrigerant whereas the absorption chillers use heat source and do not use a mechanical compressor. The differences cause an absorption system to use little to no work input, but energy must be supplied in the form of heat. This makes the system very attractive when there is a cheap source of heat, such as solar heat or waste heat from electricity or heat generation. Absorption chillers have recently gained widespread acceptance due to their capability of not only integrating with cogeneration systems but also because they can operate with industrial waste heat streams. What is Absorption? Comparing the absorption refrigeration cycle with the more familiar vapor compression refrigeration cycle is often an easy way to introduce it.
