This is another in a series of columns addressing advanced basics in the understanding of the refrigeration cycle. In this column and the next (on July 4), we look at components. This column will deal ...

A large percentage of compressor failures in low-temperature vapor-compression refrigeration system applications originate from overheating. Typical compressor capacity rating data is based on an ...

IIT Madras has achieved temperature as low as -200 degree C by using a single stage vapour compression refrigerator using a compressor that is routinely used in domestic refrigerators and ...

Vapor compression cycles are predominantly used in air-conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration equipment. A good understanding of transient behaviors of vapor compression systems is critical to ...
