Whats happens in the cold heat exchanger ?

Before answering this question, let’s remind ourselves that in the last chapter we saw that there is a refrigerant called R22 that vaporises at -42°C at atmospheric pressure by absorbing heat. R22 is therefore capable of absorbing heat from any material whose temperature is greater than  -42°C.

This is wonderful, as it just so happens that we want to chill foods in our fridge whose temperature is higher than this.

As we saw in the last chapter, if the pressure in the cylinder is greater than atmospheric, when we open the valve the R22 emerges in the liquid state after passing through the dip tube…

Point A : ambient temperature = 20°C   Point B : R22 at 20°C and 8 bar  Point C : cold heat exchanger (freezer)  Point D : ice cube tray

EXERCISE : What is the temperature at points D, E et F ?
