Industrial Refrigeration system Basics - Ammonia refrigeration working principle

The video tutorial covers the basics of ammonia refrigeration systems, including single stage, two stage, and cascade systems. It explains where these systems are used, the benefits of ammonia as a refrigerant, and the potential risks. The tutorial provides detailed descriptions of each system type, focusing on their components and operation cycles, and highlights the efficiency and environmental advantages of using ammonia.

What is one of the main environmental benefits of using ammonia as a refrigerant?

• It has a high global warming potential.

• It is odorless and non-toxic.

• It has an ozone depletion rating of zero.

• It is expensive to produce.

In a single-stage ammonia refrigeration system, what is the primary function of the compressor?

• To cool the refrigerant by removing heat.

• To store excess refrigerant.

• To pump the refrigerant and increase its pressure.

• To separate liquid and vapor refrigerant.

What role does the condenser play in a single-stage ammonia refrigeration system?

• It separates liquid and vapor refrigerant.

• It stores the refrigerant.

• It absorbs heat from the refrigerant.

• It compresses the refrigerant.

How does the two-stage ammonia refrigeration system improve efficiency?

• By using a single compressor.

• By eliminating the need for a condenser.

• By using an intermediate cooler and two compressors.

• By using only one type of refrigerant.

What is the purpose of the intermediate cooler in a two-stage ammonia refrigeration system?

• To separate liquid and vapor refrigerant.

• To increase the refrigerant's pressure.

• To store excess refrigerant.

• To subcool the refrigerant before it enters the main expansion valve.

What is a key feature of a cascade refrigeration system?

• It uses a single refrigerant for all temperature ranges.

• It eliminates the need for compressors.

• It consists of multiple separate refrigeration circuits.

• It uses only ammonia as a refrigerant.

In a cascade refrigeration system, what is the function of the cascade condenser?

• It acts as a compressor for both circuits.

• It serves as a condenser for the high temperature circuit and an evaporator for the low temperature circuit.

• It separates liquid and vapor refrigerant.

• It stores refrigerant for both circuits.
