Identifying faults in refrigeration systems requires
comprehensive knowledge This includes knowledge of the structure and the task
of the individual components. With this, the design and components of a
refrigeration system can be examined. The simulation of typical errors extends
the scope of the experiment. The components of a refrigeration circuit with
refrigeration and freezing chambers are arranged clearly in the trainer.
Solenoid valves enable the individual or parallel operation of the evaporators
in the two chambers. The circuit is equipped with a combined pressure switch
for the delivery and intake side of the compressor. The refrigeration chamber
features an evaporation pressure controller. The effect of the evaporation
pressure controller on the overall process is being examined. An inner heat
exchanger in the inlet of the two evaporators is used for supercooling the
refrigerant to increase the efficiency of the process. At the same time the
intake gas is superheated.
