    @53. Explain the working principle of thermo-electric refrigeration system. Define the figure of merit and explain its effect on C.O.P. of the system. Amswer = INovsDec:’ 4, Set-4, QS(a) | Mode! Paper- 2a) Thermoelectric Refrigeration System Thermoelectric refrigeration is obtained by passing“an electric current through a series of thermocouples, which is a bonded junction of two different material. The flow of electric current acts as a working medium for this refrigeration system. D.C current flows across the circuit when two junctions are connected in series. Heat from one junction carried away by every electron of currents is transferred to the other junction. Due to this, the first junction acts as colder and other junctions. as warmer. Thermocouples are constructed by the use of semiconductor (Bismuth Telluride material). Depending upon the direction of flow, heat transfer takes place from one side to another. When D.C power passes through a series of thermocouples, ambient air which is to be cooled is Passed over the metal fins of the hot junction to generate cool air and rejects heat into atmosphere. Reversing the direction of flow generates heat and rejects cool air into atmosphere. Due to this reason, thermoclectric method of refrigeration is consi as year-round conditioning system. jered ‘Working Principle of Vortex Tube Refrigeration System a Cope Nek ‘he al eC Sia Figur: Vortex Tube Refrigeration System Vortex tube refrigeration is employed fo producing both cooling and eating effects. It comprises of compressor, nozzle, throttle valve and pipe. In ths type of system, the nozzle is tangentially fitted tothe pipe’s inner surface at one end, while the other end is atached to the compressor. Likewise, one end ofthe tube is connected to throttle valve and the other end is kept pen, as shown in figure. A swirl motion is created inside the tube when the compressed air expands through the nozzle. This compressed air moves asa fee vortex towards the valve. Thus 2 stagnation points formed when the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, on reaching the air near the valveend, Duc to high stagnation pressure when compared to nozzle pressure, flow takes place in reverse dzection, As a result, reversed vortex flow gets rotated by coming in contact with forward moving fee vortex. Cooled ai eaves trough the passage “Cand hot air passes through A. Hence, vortex flow simultaneously produces cooing and heating a either sides ofthe tube. inthis the energy supplied fom outer surface of tbe during forced vortex flows negligible when compared with pumping offenergy fom the iner surface to outer surface, This isd tothe mixing of turbulence in he central flow region, - + INOIDHE=14, Set, ae | Electrolux Refrigeration System The electrolux type of fefrigerator used in absorption Spaigetation system is also called os ‘three.

Working of a Steam Jet Refrigeration System In this system, water is filled in lash chamber, stean boiler produces high pressure steam which passes through rownorzle inlet with a high velocity. Due to this, a very low pressure is obtained in the flash chamber and the water vaporates ina short period of time. The water vapour which {sevaporated, enters into the ejector, where it gets compressed. ‘This compressed steam jet is then passed into the condenser, Where it gets condensed and returns to the boiler. 5 ‘The chilled water present in the evaporator or flash chamber is circulated by the pump to the refrigerated space or room, as shown in the figure.

Summer Air Conditioning System Fan Heating Coll filter Summer Air Conditioning System Air conditioner working principle in summer air conditioning system. In this system, the air is cooled and generally dehumidified. a Schematic for a typical summer air conditioning system is arranged. The outside ir flows through the damper and is mixed with recirculated air (which is obtained from the conditioned space). The mixed air passes through a filter to remove the dirt, dust, and impurities. 3. Year-Round Air Conditioning System _ Zecoine cot resting cat Year Round Air Conditioning System In a year-round air conditioning system, it should have equipment for both summer and winter air conditioning. Schematic for a modern summer year-round air conditioning is arranged. Air conditioner working principle In year-round air conditioning system. In this, the outside air flows through the damper and mixes with the recirculated air. The mixed air passes through a fitter to remove dirt, dust, and impurities. In tne summer air conattioning system, the cooling operates to cool the alr to the desired vaive. ‘The dehumidification is obtained by operating the cooling coil at a lower temperature than the ew point temperature. In the winter air conamtioning system, the cooling coll Is made inoperative ana the neating coll operates to neat tne air. The spray-type humiainer Is also used In the dry season to numicity ime air. The air now passes through a cooling required dry bulb temperature of the The coil has a temperature much below the the conditioned space. The cooled air passes through a perforated membrane and loses its moisture in the condensed form which is collected in the sump. After that. the air is made to pass through @ heating coll which heats the air slowly. This is done to bring the air to the designed dry bulb temperature and relative humidity. Now the conditioned air is supplied to the conditioned space by a fan. From conditioned space, a part of the used air is rejected to the atmosphere by the exhaust fan. The remaining air is again conditioned and this is repeated again and again. The outside air 1s sucked and made to mix with recirculated air to make for the loss of conditioned air through the exhaust fan from the conditioned space. _ a * Figure (1: Psychometric Chart Definition cet i tioned airsupplie othe room Room sensible heat factor canbe deine a the ratio Figure (1) shows the conditc se beteen te 100m sensible heat and the rom ol ha (i, ‘Upcint ‘a’ This point ‘a onthe psy"! me “p gives the final room sam of 0m sensible beat and room latent bet) It is denoted Seip ication a the pot ae the Room Sensible : im condit ‘ab’ is known as , ty RSHEMattenaialy, 1) signcondtion, The line ‘ab’ is alpeot is sag Reena esi) a Faotor (RSHF) line.
