 INTRODUCTION

➢ The vapour absorption refrigeration system is one of the oldest method of

producing refrigeration effect.
➢ An ammonia is the commonly used refrigerant in vapour absorption system.
➢ The vapour absorption system uses heat energy , instead of mechanical
energy as in vapour compression system for producing refrigeration, because
it gives high cop of the system with of work energy . so it is also known as heat
operated system .
➢ It is quite similar to vapour compression system . condensation and
evaporation takes place t two different pressure levels to achieve refrigeration .
➢ The main motive is to raise the temperature of refrigerant from evaporator
pressure to condenser pressure.
➢ Here refrigerant is dissolved in liquid in absorber and pumped to condenser .
➢ After raising the pressure of refrigerant is separated from solution by heating .
➢ After condensation in condenser ,refrigerant is throttled by expansion valve
and then evaporates in evaporator producing the refrigeration effect.
 COMPONENTS

➢ CONDENSER

➢ RECEIVER

➢ EXPANSION VALVE

➢ EVAPORATOR

➢ ABSORBER

➢ PUMP

➢ GENERATOR

➢ PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE

Evaporator:- The main function of the evaporators is to provide cooling to the area

with which it is in contact. The cooled liquid will enter inside this evaporator and

receive heat from the evaporator, and be converted into vapor.

ABSORBER:- The purpose of the absorber is to absorb the low-pressure refrigerant

vapours in the solution of the refrigerant and absorbent.

PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (PRV):- It lowers the pressure of weak solution

coming from the generator and then it is passed to the absorber.

GENERATOR:- It is used to heat the strong solution by use of heating coils, solar
energy or waste heat

PUMP:- It is used to suck the strong solution from the absorber & deliver it to the
generator at higher pressure.

CONDENSER :- Condenser is a device which condenses a substance from its

gaseous state to liquid state by cooling it.

Expansion valve:- the high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the expansion valve.
Here the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is converted into a mixture of low-pressure
refrigerant (liquid + vapour).
 WORKING PRINCIPLES

➢ The simple vapour absorption refrigeration system it consist of an absorber,

pump, generator and pressure reducing valve to the replace the compressor of
vapour compresser system.

➢ The other component of the system are condenser, receiver , expansion valve
and evaporator.

➢ In this system the low pressure and low temp. Vapoure ammonia passes to the
condenser from the absorber.

➢ It is observe by cold water in absorber to produce a solution is know as aqua

solution or strong solution.

➢ The strong solution passes to generator from the absorber with help of a pump.
The main function of pump is to be pumped the refrigerant.
➢ The strong solution is heated by some external sources like gas, in generator. Then the strong

solution is driven into weak solution and H.P and H.T ammonia vapour.

➢ The weak solution direct passes to the absorber with help of a p.R.V.

➢ The main function of P.R.V is to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant.

➢ The H.P and H.T ammonia vapour is pass to the condenser from the generator.

➢ Condenser is nothing but it is a device and its main function is to converts vapour to liquid.

Then the liquid vapour ammonia stored in receiver, receiver is a storage vessel.
➢ Then the liquid ammonia passes to evaporator from receiver with expansion valve.

➢ The main function of expansion valve is to control the flow rate of refrigerant.

➢ In evaporator the liquid ammonia convert into vapour ammonia.

➢ In this way the cycle is repeated to complete the S.V.A.R.S.

 APPLICATIONS

➢ Domestic use

➢ Food preservation

➢ Manufacture of ice and similar produce

➢ Milk chilling and cold storage in plant

➢ Cooling of storage chamber in which medicine drinks and foods are stored
 ADVANTAGES

➢ No compressor is required.

➢ No mechanical trouble . low maintenance cost .

➢ No lubricant required , no wear-tear.

➢ Completely leak proof .

➢ Noiseless.

➢ Easy to control, only by heat input.

➢ Can be built huge working capacities.(Even above 1000 TR)

➢ Required less space , less cost.

 DISADVANTAGES

➢ More complicated in construction and working.

➢ Low C.O.P

➢ If spoiled once , cannot be repaired and has to be replaced fully.

➢ Taking long time to producing cooling effect.

➢ Higher heat rejection.

➢ Producing green house effect due to halocarbon refrigerant .

➢ Higher initial cost.

 CONCLUSION

From this seminar we conclude that vapor absorption refrigeration system is

one of the important refrigeration system which can work in absence of

current. In the system less noise is produced, because the moving part of

compressor is not used.
