Small-scale vapor-compression system
Small-scale vapor-compression system
The small-scale vapor compression system enables
- measurements of system performance (up to 250 W of cooling power)
- capillary tube test bench
- parametric analyses on system components
- measurements of system dynamics
- pull down tests
The small-scale experimental vapor-compression system enables us to imitate the vapor-compression cycle in systems of up to 250 W of cooling power, such as household refrigerators. The system consists of a compressor, a capillary tube, an evaporator and a condenser. The test bench is equipped with a Coriolis mass flow meter, 10 pressure sensors and 32 temperature sensors, and is regulated with a PID control scheme to enable the observation of different operating conditions. The test bench is primarily intended for mathematical model validation and research of capillary tube flows.
