Chapter 7 (Compatibility Mode)

The document discusses several methods for saving energy in refrigeration systems, including: 1) Decreasing condensation temperatures and increasing evaporation temperatures lowers power consumption by 2-3%. 2) Uncondensed gases reduce efficiency by increasing compression pressures and temperatures. 3) High pressure liquid pumps and cold thermal storage can improve efficiency but are not discussed in detail. 4) Combining air conditioning with heat pipes and selecting optimal equipment installation can also save energy. 5) CO2 refrigeration and microchannel heat exchangers have high heat transfer rates and may reduce energy usage.

7.2 Uncondensed gasses (Khí không ngưng)

The uncondensed gasses make:


- Increasing the condensing pressure and the final
temperature of the compression process.
- Reducing COP.

The uncondensed gasses were caused by:


- Do not vacuum completely before supplying refrigerant.
- Due to repair and maintenance
- Due to decomposition (phân hủy) of oil at high temperature
- Due to the refrigerant decomposes (phân hủy).
- Due to leakage at the low pressure side.
