AN ANALYSIS OF PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS ALONG A CAPILLARY TUBE-SUCTION LINE HEAT EXCHANGER.

Author(s) : PATE M. B., TREE D. R.

Summary

SPECIFICALLY, CAPILLARY TUBE PRESSURES, TUBE WALL TEMPERATURES, AND SUCTION LINE FLUID TEMPERATURES WERE MEASURED AT ONE-FOOT (0.30 METRE) INTERVALS UNDER CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF AN ACTUAL OPERATING R12 REFRIGERANT SYSTEM. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE BEHAVIOUR OF A CAPILLARY TUBE WITH HEAT TRANSFER IS CONSIDERABLY DIFFERENT FROM AN ADIABATIC CAPILLARY TUBE. THE TRANSFER OF HEAT INCREASES THE LENGTH OF THE TWO-PHASE REGION WHILE REDUCING THE FLOW RESTRICTION.
