Cooling Technology

Analysis and commissioning of a complex compression refrigeration system

  • Insight into the operation of a complex cold vapour compression refrigeration unit
  • Analysis and documentation of the industrial components (modules) used and representation of the entire installation in a block diagram (plant schematic)
  • Familiarization with means of evacuation, filling, leak detection and power measurement
  • Independently carrying out power measurement and recording readings
  • Heat balancing in a refrigeration system
  • Recording, evaluating and presenting the results of the experiments

Start-up behaviour of an absorption chiller

  • Insight into the operation of an absorption chiller
  • Explanations of terminology and practical calculation
  • Independent recording of significant measurements and investigation of start-up performance
  • Recording the heating curve of the expulsion unit and the cooling curve of the evaporator
  • Presenting and analyzing the results of the experiments

Analysis and commissioning of a complex vapour compression refrigeration machine

  • Insight into the operation of a complex cold vapour compression refrigeration system
  • Analysis and documentation of the industrial components (modules) used and representation of the entire installation in a block diagram

Other experiments:

  • Refrigeration system with two evaporators (series and parallel connection of evaporators, cycle in lgP-h diagram)
  • Water cooling tower (measurement of air volume flow, temperatures of air, water and humidity, changes of state in the h-x diagram, determination of cooling capacity)
  • Refrigeration system with air conditioning (experiments with room air conditioning, heating/cooling or humidifying and dehumidifying in the h-x diagram)
