IMPROVED EFFICIENCY IN AMMONIA REFRIGERATION PLANT.

Author(s) : KOSTER G. J.

Summary

THE AUTHOR OUTLINES THE LOSS OF EFFICIENCY CAUSED BY OIL FOULING OF HEAT TRANSFER SURFACES IN NH3 SYSTEMS. THE THOROUGH REMOVAL OF OIL FROM COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE GAS IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL. AN OIL SCRUBBER IS DESCRIBED FOR USE WITH AN OIL INJECTED SCREW COMPRESSOR. THE UNUSUAL FEATURE OF THE DESIGN IS THAT DISCHARGE VAPOUR IS SCRUBBED OF OIL BY BUBBLING THROUGH TWO BEDS OF NH3 LIQUID FROM THE CONDENSER. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SCRUBBER IS ILLUSTRATED BY COMPARATIVE TESTS RUN AT A LARGE MARGARINE WORKS. D.W.H.
