 INTRODUCTION

The vapour compression refrigeration and heat pump cycle is very important in food and drug preservation, air conditioning and heat
pumps, as well as other industrial and commercial process.
Cooling is the process of reducing and maintaining the temperature of an objet or space.
A very common refrigerating installation is the so-called compression cooling installation. It forces the flowing of a fluid inside a closed
circuit mechanically, creating high and low pressure areas so that the fluid can absorb heat in one place and dissipate it in the other place.
In this installation, the coolant flows through four main elements: the compressor, the condenser, the expansion element and the evaporator.
It is an advantage in a cooling installation the fact that the coolant has a lower boiling temperature at low pressure. For that reason,
evaporation takes place at the low pressure side. During the coolant evaporation, heat is extracted from the air, that is to say, the
environment cools down.
Condensation takes place at the high pressure side after the evaporator. In this case heat is emitted to the environment. A heat pump is the
name given when not the cooling effect, but the emitted heat, is used.
The Computer Controlled Refrigeration Cycle Demonstration Unit, "TCRC", makes it possible to visualize clearly all the processes of a
compression cooling system and the heat pump cycle, the analysis and demonstration of the pressure-temperature relationship during
evaporation and condensation processes, the influence of diverse parameters on the process, etc.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Computer Controlled Refrigeration Cycle Demonstration Unit, "TCRC", allows the demonstration of
vapour compression refrigeration and heat pump cycle with visual observation of all important processes.
Thanks by utilising a non-toxic refrigerant fluid with a low vapour pressure (SES36 refrigerant, environmental
friendly), the evaporation and condensation processes are clearly visible in the glass cylinders (evaporator
and condenser).
The evaporator is a vertical cylinder, made of glass, containing SES36, closed on both ends. Into the glass
cylinder there is a niquel-plated copper coil.
Hermetic compressor draws vapour from the evaporator and compresses this before discharging it to the
condenser. The low pressure of the evaporator causes the refrigerant to boil. The water flowing through the
coil heats the refrigerant causing the vapours generation and the water temperature decreases.
From the compressor the high pressure vapour passes to the condenser.
The condenser, as the evaporator, is a glass recipient closed on both ends with a nickel-plated copper coil
into it. Vapour condenses on the surface of the coil and falls to the bottom of the condenser. The liberated
heat by the refrigerant phase change is transferred to the cooling water flowing through the coil.
The float valve located at the base of the condenser, that works as an expansion valve, controls the flow
of high pressure refrigerant liquid returning to the evaporator. The refrigerant, after passing through the
floating valve, expands to form a liquid vapour mixture at the same pressure as the evaporator and the
cycle is repeated.
Besides, an insulating valve is installed in the condenser inferior part that can be closed for the demonstration
of the technique used in the maintenance of refrigeration installations, whether commercial or industrial, TCRC detail
where the refrigerant is collected and stored in the condenser. This technique is important for demonstrating how to prevent a possible
refrigerant gas leak during the maintenance operations.
The unit allows a safe operation since it includes different safety elements, such as a high pressure switch that turns off the compressor when
the pressure in the condenser and at the condenser upper part, the unit has a relief valve that opens itself when the condenser pressure is
higher than the maximum valve allowed.
By adjustment of the water flow to the evaporator and condenser coils, using control valves, the condensing and evaporating pressures
can be varied.
We can control the unit and know, at any time, the measure of:
- The temperature and pressure of the refrigerant fluid in the evaporator and in the condenser.
- The temperature of the compression and expansion processes.
- The temperature of the water inlet and outlet at the coils of the evaporator and condenser.
- The water flow in the two coils.
- The room temperature.
- The electrical power used in the compression stage.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a
Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for
controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.

Example of some screens
Faults Simulation System (FSS) is a Software package that simulates
several faults in any EDIBON Computer Controlled Unit. It is useful for
Technical and Vocational level.
The “FAULTS” mode consists in causing several faults in the unit
normal operation. The student must find them and solve them.
There are several kinds of faults that can be grouped in the following
sections:
Faults affecting the sensors measurement:
- An incorrect calibration is applied to them.
- Non-linearity.
Faults affecting the actuators:
- Actuators channels interchange at any time during the program
execution.
- Response reduction of an actuator.
Faults in the controls execution:
- Inversion of the performance in ON/OFF controls.
- Reduction or increase of the calculated total response.
- The action of some controls is annulled.
On/off faults:
- Several on/off faults can be included.
