Water Chilling Plant

Range Of Experiments

• To study all components used in refrigeration system.
• To study the Vapor compression Refrigeration cycle.
• To determine the Refrigeration Effect, Work Input, Actual C.O.P., Carnot C.O.P., Theoretical C.O.P., Relative
• C.O.P., Ton of Refrigeration, and Plant Efficiency.

Experimental Setup :

• Compressor : Hermetically sealed compressor.
• Condenser : Air Cooled condenser made out of copper pipe & Aluminum fins of matching capacity with fan cooling.
• Evaporator : Copper Coil Limpeted water jacket. The evaporator is insulated from outside to prevent heat loss.

• Pressure Gauge : 2 Nos. for H.P., L.P. measurement
• Suitable filter/drier.
• Hand Shut Off type Service valve.
• Rotameter for Refrigerant flow measurement.
• Set of thermocouples.

Control Panel :

• 12 Channel Digital Temperature Indicator
• HP-LP Cutout : Make Ranco /Danfoss or Equivalent.
• Switches : For compressor & condenser fan.
• Voltmeter : 0 - 250 V.
• Ammeter : 0 - 15 A.
• Thermostat : Ranco or equivalent
