Chapter 15 Refrigeration
Refrigeration systems:
To cool a refrigerated space or to maintain the temperature of a space below that of the surroundings .
Heat pump systems:
To maintain the temperature within a dwelling or other buildings above that of the surroundings or to provide heat for industrial processes that occur at an elevated temperature.
The knowledge of refrigeration systems would help HVAC engineers in selection of the equipment and fitting it properly into overall system, defining practices consistent with safety and safety standards of the industry, and restrictive regulations on refrigerant production, recovery, and release for environmental concerns.

Performance of refrigeration systems
COP is a dimensionless quantity.
In the US, the performance is often given in dimensional terms:
Btu/(W-hr)--Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)
Since 1.0 W-hr = 3.41 Btu
COP = EER/3.41
The anticipated performance over an average season is called the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), also in Btu/(W-hr).

Refrigerants
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) (R-11, R-12, R-113, R-114, and R-115):
CFC production was banned in the US in 1995 due to the ozone depletion effects.
HCFCs (R-22, R-123, R-124, R-141b):
Represents a decreased threat to ozone layer due to the hydrogen molecule. Production was restricted in the US beginning January 1, 2004 and a worldwide ban is scheduled by 2030.
HFCs (R-125, R-134a, R-143a, and R-152a):
The least harmful to the ozone layer due to the lack of chlorine molecule. However, there is some pressure to reduce the use of these refrigerants because of their global warming potential.

Positive displacement compressor: increasing the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
Dynamic compressor: increasing the momentum of a gas followed by a conversion of the momentum into a pressure rise (centrifugal compressor).

Operating point of a compressor
The compressor capacity is given in terms of evaporator load (Btu/hr: heat transfer rate in the evaporator, NOT flow rate), evaporator temperature , and condensing temperature in Fig. 15-7. When the compressor capacity and evaporator load (capacity) are plotted on the same chart, the intersection of the two curves is the operating condition of the compressor. The evaporator temperature is an indication of compressor load. A low evaporator temperature indicates the condenser may not be loaded.

When the evaporator load is increased (with a higher room air temperature, for example), more heat will be transferred to the refrigerant and the superheat at the evaporator outlet will increase. The control mechanism may allow a higher refrigerant flow rate, which will reduce the superheat.
