SOME GUIDES FOR SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL REFRIGERANT CIRCULATION.

Author(s) : RICHARDS W. V.

Summary

A SIMPLE METHOD, BASED ON HYDRAULIC ANALOGIES, IS PROPOSED FOR ACHIEVING GOOD HEAT TRANSFER WITH REASONABLE PRESSURE DROP IN MULTIPLE TUBE OVERFEED EVAPORATORS. SIMPLE FORMS FOR ESTIMATING THE CIRCULATING NUMBER AND THE EVAPORATOR PRESSURE DROP ARE OFFERED FOR BOTH R717 AND R22 REFRIGERANTS. REFERENCES FOR CALCULATING THE CAPACITY FOR VAPOUR RETURN LINES ARE CITED. A METHOD OF OPTIMIZING THE SIZE OF RISERS IN OVERFEED RETURN LINES IS REVIEWED. THE CONDITIONS THAT PRODUCE LIQUID HAMMER IN REFRIGERANT LIQUID LINES ARE DISCUSSED.
