Description

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.
