Vapour Compression Refrigeration Trainer

Vapour Compression Refrigeration Trainer The vapor compression refrigeration trainer is designed to analyze performance of Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycle. The trainer consists of a hermetically sealed compressor, air cooled condenser, expansion device & coiled evaporator. The evaporator coil is immersed in a water tank fitted with electric heater. The heater load is controlled by a dimmer. CFC Free refrigerant R134a is used in the trainer. The measuring instruments are provided to measure Temperature & pressure of refrigerant cycle, Refrigerant Flow, Power Supplied to compressor & Heater Load.
