9 Cooling System Types Vapor Compression Reciprocating compressor Screw compressor Centrifugal compressor Scroll compressor Absorption Single effect Double effect 26 Vapor Compression Components Consists of four major elements Compressor Condenser Expansion Devices Evaporator 27 Cooling Science Chemistry provides us with the Modern Gas Law PV=nRT or re written T= PV/nR. Temperature = (Pressure X Volume) / nr R is a gas constant and n is related to the refrigerant In short, if the pressure and volume rise, the temperature increases and vice versa 28 9

10 Simpler Explanation As the pressure and volume inside the can drops as it is sprayed, the temperature also drops and the can feels cold The can gets hot if we were to pressurize it 29 Vapor Compression Cycle Step 1: Refrigerant enters the compressor in a low pressure, low temperature, gaseous form Step 2: The refrigerant is compressed to a high pressure and temperature gaseous state 2 SPRAY PAINT Simplified Fill aerosol Can Can heats up Drive Engine Motor Turbine 1 Hot Refrigerant Vapor Compressor Cooling Tower Cold Refrigerant Vapor 3 Rejected Condenser Warm Refrigerant Liquid Evaporator Load 4 Cold Refrigerant Liquid Heat Heat 30 Step 3: The high pressure and temperature gas enters the condenser where it changes phase from the high pressure and temperature gas to a high temperature liquid by transferring heat to a lower temperature medium, usually ambient air SPRAY PAINT Vapor Compression Cycle Simplified Cool can Gas inside changes phases from vapor to liquid Drive Engine Motor Turbine 2 1 Hot Refrigerant Vapor Compressor Cooling Tower Cold Refrigerant Vapor 3 Rejected Condenser Warm Refrigerant Liquid Evaporator Load 4 Cold Refrigerant Liquid 31 Heat Heat 31 10

11 Step 4: The high temperature liquid then enters the expansion device allowing a portion of the refrigerant to enter the evaporator 2 Spray can for cooling effect Simplified Vapor Compression Cycle SPRAY PAINT Drive Engine Motor Turbine 1 Hot Refrigerant Vapor Compressor Cooling Tower Cold Refrigerant Vapor 3 Rejected Condenser Warm Refrigerant Liquid Evaporator Load 4 Cold Refrigerant Liquid Heat Heat Vapor Compression Cycle & Components Air Cooled Condenser Sensing Bulb Evaporator Coil Compressor O O O O O O Cold Air Air Handler Drive High Pressure Receiver Expansion Valve 33 Vapor Compression Chiller Components Cooling Tower Chiller System Compressor Chilled Water Supply Cold Air Tower Water Condenser Chiller Heat Rejection Evaporator Chiller Heat Exchanger Air Handler Warm Water Return Tower Water Pump Expansion Valve Chilled Water Pump 34 11

12 Direct Expansion Systems In a direct expansion (DX) unitary system, the evaporator is in direct contact with the air stream The cooling coil of the airside loop is also the evaporator of the refrigeration loop The term direct refers to the position of the evaporator with respect to the airside loop 35 System Components Vapor Compression Systems Reciprocating compressor A positive displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure The intake gas enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression cylinder where it is compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft, and is then discharged 37 12

13 Reciprocating Compressor The compressor is essentially a pump It pumps heat from the cold side to the hot side of the system The heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator must be removed before the refrigerant can again absorb latent heat 38 Reciprocating Compressor To change phases from vapor to liquid the refrigerant gives up the latent heat of vaporization that it absorbed in the evaporator by cooling and condensing it in the condenser Due to the relatively high temperature of the cooling medium, the only way to make the vapor condense is to compress it 39 Reciprocating Compressor Types Hermetic Compressor motor assembly contained in a welded steel case, typically used in household refrigerators, residential air conditioners, smaller commercial air conditioning and refrigeration units 40 13

14 Reciprocating Compressor Types Semi hermetic Compressor motor assembly contained in a casting with no penetration by a rotating shaft and with gasketed cover plates for access to key parts such as valves and connecting rods 41 Reciprocating Compressor Types Open Drive Compressor only with shaft seal and external shaft for coupling connection to belt or direct drive using as electric motor or natural gas engine 42 Vapor Compression Systems Rotary screw compressor Are also positive displacement compressors Two meshing screw rotors rotate in opposite directions, trapping refrigerant vapor, and reducing the volume of the refrigerant along the rotors to the discharge point 43 14

15 Rotary Screw Compressor Within the compressor body there are two screws with mating profile a female and a male screw; female having concave inlets and the male with convex helical inlets 44 Rotary Screw Compressor Screws rotate in opposite directions with the female screw receiving the driving power and transmitting this power to the male screw through a set of synchronization gears Refrigerant is drawn into the inlet port and fills up the space between the screws and is compressed 45 Vapor Compression Systems Centrifugal compressor Centrifugal compressors are dynamic compressors The compressors raises the pressure of the refrigerant by imparting velocity or dynamic energy, using a rotating impeller, and converting it to pressure energy 46 15

16 Centrifugal Compressor Centrifugal compressors are higher in speed than rotary screw or reciprocating compressors They have fewer rubbing parts Are relatively energy efficient 47 Vapor Compression Systems Scroll compressor Scroll compressors are positive displacement The compressors raises the pressure of the refrigerant by imparting velocity or dynamic energy, using a rotating impeller, and converting it to pressure energy 48 Scroll Compressor A scroll compressor uses two interleaving scrolls to pump, compress or pressurize the refrigerant These devices are known for operating more smoothly, quietly, and reliably than conventional compressors Compressor Housing Inlet Pipe (Suction) Outlet Pipe (Discharge) Impeller 49 16

17 Scroll Compressor The compression process occurs over approximately 2 to 2½ rotations of the crankshaft The efficiency of scroll compressors is slightly higher than that of a typical reciprocating compressor 50 Compressor Size Ranges Scroll <2 RT 10 RT Reciprocating RT Rotary Screw RT Centrifugal 200 RT + 51 Electric motor Drive Options Constant speed Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Natural Gas Engine Steam Turbine 52 17

18 Electric Motor Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy Electric motors operate through the interaction of magnetic fields and currentcarrying conductors to generate force 53 Electric Motor Shaft power is used to turn the compressor Constant speed of 1,800 3,600 RPM Direct coupled to compressor or to gear box for higher speed applications 54 Variable Speed Drive Uses an internal or external variable frequency controller to convert input power (AC) to direct current (DC) that can be directly used in a DC motor or inverted back to AC and frequency varied off 60HZ to control speed Allows for soft start capabilities 55 18

19 Variable Speed Drive Can match speed and load capabilities Energy efficient motor External VFDs can be added to most electric motors 56 Expansion Devices (Valves) Controls the amount of refrigerant flow into the evaporator a metering device Uses a temperature sensor to regulate a stepper motor or sensing bulb filled with a similar gas as in the system that causes the valve to open against the spring pressure in the valve body as the temperature on the bulb increases 57 Thermal Expansion Valve Key element to the refrigeration cycle During the refrigeration cycle high temperature liquid enters the expansion valve where the TX valve allows a portion of the refrigerant to enter the evaporator The valve limits the flow into the evaporator 58 19

20 Electronic Expansion Valve Key element to the refrigeration cycle During the refrigeration cycle high temperature liquid enters the expansion valve where the EX valve allows a portion of the refrigerant to enter the evaporator The valve limits the flow into the evaporator 59 Condensing Systems Air cooled condenser Vapor compression systems only * Water cooled tower Vapor compression and absorption systems *Small scale (residential and small commercial) available as air cooled units 60 Air Cooled Condenser Heat rejected to the atmosphere via finned tubes and fans Similar to the outside unit on a residential system Best suited for smaller vapor compression systems or where water availability is an issue 61 20

21 Air Cooled Condenser Air Discharge Refrigerant VAPOR IN Refrigerant LIQUID OUT Inlet Air Inlet Air 62 Water Cooled Tower System Heat rejected to the atmosphere via bare tubes, water spray and fan Best suited for larger vapor compression systems and absorption chillers 63 Air/Water Vapor Drift Cooling Tower Drift Eliminators Water Spray & Heads Water Sump Refrigerant VAPOR IN Refrigerant LIQUID OUT Inlet Air Circulating Pump Water Bleed Off 64 21

22 Absorption Cooling Heat drives system Often best choice when: Electric demand charges are high Electricity use rates are high Summertime natural gas prices are favorable Limited electric service available Recoverable heat is available 65 Absorption Cooling The thermodynamic cycle of an absorption chiller is driven by a heat source a chemical process rather than a mechanical process. steam, hot water, or combustion as heat source Compared to electrically powered chillers, an absorption chiller has very low electrical power requirements ~15 kw combined consumption for both the solution and the refrigerant pumps 66 Absorption Cooling How It Works Thermal compressor replaces electric compressor Generator Pump Absorber Heat Exchanger Typically uses water (refrigerant) and non toxic lithium bromide (absorbent) solution eliminates CFCs More efficient and potentially lower operating costs than electric vapor compression chillers particularly when using recovered heat Double effect achieves even greater efficiency Pumps Concentrated Lithium Bromide Solution from Generator to Absorber section Generator / Concentrator Diluted Lithium Bromide Solution pumped back to Generator Section 67 22

23 The Absorption Cycle Overview Heat Step 3 Generator High Pressure Vapor Heat Condenser Step 4 Work Pump Heat Absorber Step 2 Low Pressure Vapor Evaporator Heat Step 1 68 The Absorption Cycle Step 1 Cycle begins when the refrigerant leaves the condenser as a high pressure liquid. On the way to the evaporator, the refrigerant flows through an expansion valve that drastically lowers the operating pressure. Once inside the evaporator (step 1), heat is absorbed and the low pressure liquid "boils" and is vaporized. Heat Condenser Evaporator Heat Step 4 Step 1 69 The Absorption Cycle Step 2 The absorption process uses vaporization to produce a cooling effect, but the work restoring the refrigerant is done differently than the vapor compression cooling cycle. The vapor returning to the absorber, (step 2) is Work Heat Pump Absorber Step 2 absorbed by a liquid (an "absorbent") just as alcohol absorbs water. The resulting solution can then be pressurized by a simple motor driven pump

24 The Absorption Cycle Step 3 Then, by using a gasfueled generator (boiler) (step 3) to heat the solution, the two fluids can be separated. The liquid absorbent is cycled back to pick up more refrigerant. Heat Step 3 Generator High Pressure Vapor 71 The Absorption Cycle Step 4 The high pressure refrigerant vapor is condensed to a liquid releasing its heat to the outdoors (step 4) and sent back to the evaporator to produce more cooling. High Pressure Vapor Heat Condenser Step 4 72 Advantages of Absorption Cooling Heat, domestic hot water, and cool with the same unit Usually lower operating costs Safe, quiet and dependable operation Reliable, low maintenance Direct fired absorber has a smaller footprint than an electric chiller and separate boiler Initial costs offset by energy savings 73 24

25 Absorption Cooling Issues Heat input requirements are large Typical COP is often 0.7 (single effect) to 1.4 (double effect) Requires a slightly larger cooling tower than a vapor compression chiller (about 30% larger, but depends on COP) Absorption units excel where cheap, high grade heat or waste heat is readily available 74 Natural Gas Absorption Cooling Sizing several tons to over 3000 tons Types Heat recovery e.g., CHP system Hybrid systems (½ gas cooling, ½ electric cooling) Chiller (cooling only) Chiller/heater Single or double effect systems, or combination Direct & indirect fired Air Cooled & water cooled Absorption heat pumps 75 Basic Absorption Chiller Cycle Cooling Tower Chiller System Chilled Water Supply Cold Air Tower Water Chiller Heat Rejection Generator Pump Absorber Chiller Heat Exchanger Air Handler Warm Water Return Tower Water Pump Expansion Valve Chilled Water Pump 76 25

26 Adsorption Chillers 77 Adsorption Chillers The adsorption chiller has four chambers an evaporator, a condenser and two adsorption chambers All four chambers are operated at nearly a full vacuum These systems are less common than Absorption 78 Adsorption Chillers Adsorption works with the interaction of gases and solids The molecular interaction between the solid and the gas allow the gas to be adsorbed into the solid The adsorption chamber of the chiller is filled with Silicagel/H20 or Zeolith/H2O (sorbent) The sorbent creates an extremely low humidity condition that causes the water refrigerant to evaporate at a low temperature As the water evaporates in the evaporator, it cools the chilled water 79 26

27 Adsorption Chillers The machines consist of two sorbent compartments one evaporator and one condenser Using hot water from an external heat source the sorbent in the first compartment is regenerated The sorbent in the second compartment adsorbs the water vapor entering from the evaporator Compartment 2 has to be cooled in order to enable a continuous adsorption 80 Adsorption Chillers Due to the low pressure conditions in the evaporator, the refrigerant is transferred into a gas phase by taking up the evaporation heat from the chilled water loop thereby producing the useful "cold If the sorption material in the adsorption compartment is saturated with water vapor, the chambers are switched over in their function 81 Adsorption Chiller Cycle Condenser Chamber Adsorption Chamber 1 Adsorption Chamber 2 Cool Water Evaporator Chamber Hot Water Cold Water 82 27

28 Engine Driven Chillers Engine replaces electric motor in an electric refrigeration compressor Primarily used for reciprocating, and screw compressor systems Offer variable speed capability (just like an electric VFD) Can run at 20% capacity without loosing efficiency 83 Engine Drives Primary types automotive derivative and industrial grade Can be dedicated design for natural gas Produce shaft speed between the ranges of RPM Offer excellent heat recovery options 84 Engine Drives Engine maintenance is critical for reliability and life expectancy Oil/Filter changes Valve adjustments Engine overhaul necessary between 20,000 40,000 fullload hours of operation 85 28
