REFRIGERATION LABORATORY
UNIT
MODEL: RF 01
T
HIS Refrigeration Laboratory Unit (Model: RF 01) has been designed to help students to study the
performance of a vapour compression cycle under various conditions of evaporator load and condenser
pressure. Student will be able to monitor and control the unit just as if they are controlling and monitoring
an industrial refrigeration and air conditioning plant.
The unit is a floor standing unit consists of the following
main components:
♦ a refrigerant compressor
♦ a water cooled refrigerant condenser
♦ an expansion valve with thermostat
♦ an electrical variable load evaporator
All of the above items are mounted on an epoxy coated
steel bench with vertical backpanel. Temperature,
pressure and flow values are conveniently displayed.
The unit is also protected against excessive pressure
and over heating. At the same time a circuit breaker
installed within the unit will protect the unit from any
possible current leakage.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
♦ Vapour Compression Cycle diagram at various
conditions.
♦ Energy balance for the refrigerator.
♦ The effect of different condensing temperatures on
refrigerator duty or cooling ability.
♦ The effect of different condensing temperatures on
refrigerator performance coefficient.
♦ The effect of different motor power on performance
coefficient.
♦ Overall heat transfer coefficient for the condenser
cooling coil.
♦ Performance of the thermostatic expansion valve.
♦ The effect of different condensing temperatures on
the heat delivered to the cooling water.
♦ The effect of different condensing temperatures on
performance coefficient as a heat pump.
♦ Power input study.
e) Instrumentations
Pressure for refrigeration cycle, refrigerant and
cooling water flowrates, evaporator and
compressor motor power input, and
temperatures at various locations. The motor
torque is determined by means of a load cell.
f) Safety
Condenser pressure and evaporator heater
temperature is limited by automatic cut-outs.
