Question

In a refrigeration plant, in a direct expansion evaporator :

प्रशीतन संयंत्र में, प्रत्यक्ष विस्तार बाष्पीकरणकर्ता में:

A.

Liquid refrigerant evaporates outside the tubes in a shell and tube heat exchanger

B.

There is a coil with smooth surface inside for refrigerant evaporation

C.

The refrigerant evaporates in a finned coil, which cools air or liquid flowing across it

D.

There is no need of a throttling device

Answer ( Option C)

The refrigerant evaporates in a finned coil, which cools air or liquid flowing across it

Solution

Direct expansion fin and tube type:

These evaporators are used for cooling and dehumidifying the air directly by the refrigerant flowing in the tubes. Similar to fin and tube type condensers, these evaporator consists of coils placed in a number of rows with fins mounted on it to increase the heat transfer area.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

&Key Points:-

●When evaporator is close to the compressor, a direct expansion coil is used since the refrigerant lines are short, refrigerant leakage will be less and pressure drop is small.

●If air conditioning is required away from the compressor, it is preferable to chill water and pump it to air cooling coil to reduce the possibility of refrigerant leakage and excessive refrigerant pressure drop, which reduces the COP.
