Expansion Valve

Expansion Valve


Expansion vales:- Expansion Valve is device is used to make expansion of refrigerant and decrease the temperature of refrigerant. Expansion Valve are the one type of regulator through which refrigerant passes. At the bottom of expansion valve expansion adjustment nut is provided The position of adjustment nut may be changes as per valve design.If  we tightened that bolt high expansion will get us and temperature of refrigerant will highly decreased due to high expansion.If we loosed that nut low expansion will happens .When refrigerant pass through the valve,then pressure drop happens from high pressure to low pressure.Due to sudden Drop of pressure, temperature also decreases of the refrigerant.

Types of Expansion valve


Manual Operated Expansion valve:-
These values were used for CO2 gas refrigeration installation where compressor started and stopped by watch-keeper.The compressor was started at expansion valve open position.Expansion valve then closed to bring up pressure on condensing side until the condensing or saturation temperature for the pressure was five or six degree.
  Manual Operated Expansion valve have a disadvantage of being unresponsive for the changes in load and must be adjusted frequently.

Thermostatic Expansion valve

These values are similar in general design to automatic valve.But having the space above bellow or Diaphragm and filled with liquid refrigerant used in main system and connected with capillary tube to a remote bulb.This bulb is connected in close contact with the suction line at the outlet of the evaporator and it responsive to changes in refrigerant vapour temperature at this point.

How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit

  How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit Overview Air Handling unit is a system used to supply temperature and Humidity controlled filtered air to the cleanroom. For air filtration various types of filters are used in AHU. And for temperature and Humidity controlling cooling and heating coils are provided in AHU. Goals Control the temperature of air used in the cleanroom  Control the humidity of air used in cleanroom  Air filters Specifications    The air Handling unit consists of Air filter  Cooling coil Heating coil Air blower HEPA Filter  Controlling of Temperature and Humidity  By Cooling Method  The cooling coil recirculates the chilled water having temperatures between 4°C to 6°C. This chilled water comes from the Chiller through centrifugal pumps. When we start the Air Handling unit blowers sucks the air through the pre filters of the air Handling unit. When blowers sucks air, it passes through the cooling co...

AIR FLOW, AIR VELOCITY, ACPH, AHU CAPACITY

Air Changes per Hour AIR VELOCITY AND ACPH OF ROOM OR AREA   Procedure to be followed: Air Velocity Measurement and Calculation of Air Changes: Objective : To demonstrate  that the   air system is balanced and capable of delivering air velocities and providing number of air changes per hour in the respective rooms as   per requirement. Equipment to be used: Hotwire Anemometer or capture Hood Pre Requisite: Air Volumes through supply and return grills and filters should be adjusted as per the design requirement of Air Change Rate and Differential Pressure. Test Method : Ensure that the Supply blower of the AHU is "ON" prior to the start of the observations. For compliance of air change rate, velocity to be measured at 5   different locations to below the each terminal or Grill (Four Corners and center) with the help of calibrated Anemometer. Calculate the   average  velocity of the air coming from Plenum HEPA filter / supply air grill. Calculate the air...

Chiller Approach Temperature

 Chiller Approach Chiller Approach is a essential check point for ensuring that the chiller is a running at peak efficiency.When the chiller condenser approach temperature is within operating range,it indicate the condenser tubes are clean and chiller runs efficient.When increased approach temperature reduces the efficiency and it need maintenance. What is Approach Temperature? Chiller Approach temperature is the temperature difference between the liquid refrigerant temperature that leaving the condenser and the leaving cooling water temperature.This temperature difference is called chiller approach temperature. Effects of Approach Temperature:- If the  Condenser approach temperature is within the operating range that indicate the condenser coils are in good condition and cleaned.In this condition chiller runs efficiently. If the condenser approach temperature is out of the operating range that indicate the condenser coil scaled from inner side due to which heat transfer not d...
