Room AC System Or Unitary AC System And Central AC System :

ROOM AC SYSTEM OR UNITARY AC SYSTEM :

This is the simplest type of air conditioning system, assembled inside a casing. 

The unit consists of :

 i) Refrigeration system (involving the refrigerant),

ii) Control System ( Thermostat and selector switch ).

iii) Electrical protection system (motor overload switches and winding protection thermostat on the compressor motor),

iv) Air circulation System ( Fan motor, Centrifugal blower ),

v) Exhaust System . 



The working of this system can be divided into various circuits. They are,

I) Room air circuit :

  * Air from the room to be conditioned is drawn by a fan through a filter.

  * The hot air is passed through evaporator and gets cooled.

  * This cool air is passed to the room thereby makes it conditioned.

II) Refrigerant circuit :

  * The refrigerant (which was liquid) becomes evaporated by the heat given by the uncooled room air.

  * This vapor is compressed in the compressor and goes to the condenser, where it becomes liquid again.

  * In the capillary, it expands and enters the evaporator, where by receiving the room heat it becomes  vapor.

III) Condenser Circuit :

  * To cool the hot refrigerant vapor, air is drawn from outside by a fan and passed through the  condenser.

IV) Fresh Air - Room Air Mixing Circuit :

  * Fresh Air is admitted through a damper and is mixed with the return air from room.

 * This mixture is sent through the evaporator coil, gets cooled and passed to the room.

 * This filter, mounted in front of  the evaporator coil filters room air - fresh mixture.

 * This helps in keeping the fins and tubes clean to obtain optimum heat transfer from the coil. 


CENTRAL A/C SYSTEM : 

In a central System , all the components of the a/c system are grouped together in one central room and conditioned air is distributed from the central room to the required places through ducts. This system of central air conditioning is generally opted for the load above 25tons of refrigeration and 2500 m3/min of  conditioned air.

MELTING FURNACES FOR FERROUS METALS : CUPOLA AND ITS WORKING

Various types of melting furnaces are used in different foundry shops, depending upon the quantity of metal to be melted at a time, and the nature of work that is carried out in the shop.  The primary objective in cupola is to produce iron of desired composition, temperature and properties at the required rate in the most economical manner. Besides, this furnace has many distinct advantages over the other types, e.g., simplicity of operation, continuity of production, and increased output coupled with a high degree of efficiency.  Description Of a Cupola : The Cupola Furnace consists of a vertical, cylindrical steel sheet, 6 to 12 mm thick, and lined inside with acid refractory bricks or acid tamping clay. The refractory bricks or the tamping clay used consist of  silicon oxide acid (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3). The lining is generally thicker in the lower where the temperatures encountered are higher than in the upper region. The shell is mounted either on a brick work fo...

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

 Advantages Of  Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of  Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content.
