Description
Technical Details

The trainer of capacity control and Faults in refrigeration systems (AR – 022) tends to demonstrate how the capacity of one compressor can be controlled in order to serve two different loads (freezing and cooling). The trainer is supplied with software to operate the refrigerant systems, control it and activate faults.

The trainer includes all the components of the refrigerant cycle in addition to the freezing and cooling chambers.
The components and the two chambers are arranged clearly and sequent in the same way they are arranged in the real-life applications.
The refrigerant cycle is divided into two branches, each for one load.
The refrigerant cycle components are an accumulator, a compressor, an oil filter, condenser fan and coil, and a liquid receiver.
The refrigerant cycle also contains many types of compressor capacity controllers such as evaporator pressure regulator, type KVP, crankcase pressure regulator, type KVL, KVC and Condensing pressure regulator, type KVR, solenoid valves, filters, expansion valves, flow meters, heat exchangers, pressure gauges and sight glass.
The solenoid valves enable the separate or parallel operation of the evaporators in the two chambers.
The educational unit is provided with two chambers, with door and locker, one of them to simulate the freezing process (one of the two loads) and has its evaporator and the other one to simulate the cooling process (the other load) and has its evaporator too.
The two evaporators enable the supercoiling of the refrigerant to be investigated for the efficiency of the process.
The refrigeration capacity of the two chambers is controlled by a thermostat.
The cooling chamber also features an evaporation pressure controller.
There are two defrosting methods for the freezing chamber: an electric defrost heater and a hot gas defrosting where the hot refrigerant is fed directly from the compressor in the opposite direction through the evaporator.
The software provided with the trainer operates the refrigerant cycle, controls refrigeration parameters and activates faults.
The trainer is supplied with an ON/OFF switch to connect the power supply to the trainer and an emergency switch.
A schematic diagram is printed to the trainer to show the sequence of the refrigerant cycle during operation.
