Evaporators are one of the most critical elements in any air preparation and conditioning systems. They change the phase of the coolant from liquid to gas. For proper and trouble-free functioning of the system, evaporator needs to be optimized and maintained. The goal of the evaporator is to bring the cooling substance to the temperature at which transfer of heat can occur. Typically, this is the temperature that is below that of the environment. For properly sized evaporator, the required temperature, humidity of the space and loads need to be taken into account.
Key Takeaways:
- The vapor compression cycle utilizes a compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator.
- There are several causes of reduced air flow, including dust and dirt particles and a blade of the wrong pitch.
- Aside from air flow, refrigerant mass flow also determines evaporator capacity.
“The vapour compression cycle is a brilliantly designed machine which, when designed and applied properly, can maintain a designated space at a temperature that is lower than that of the immediate surroundings.”
