Abstract: Seminar is focused on the fundamentals of Vapor Compression refrigeration system which is principally applicable for all Automotive, Domestic and Industrial AirConditioning and Refrigeration Applications. Briefly, introduction to be given to the heart of the system, which is Compressor and types and functions. The flood of the Air-conditioner, that is, the refrigerants, their properties, merits and demerits are summarized to map the various types and their classifications. Detailed comparison is made on first generation, second generation and third generation refrigerants, including the option of using HCs and CO2. Main focus is given to the Montreal Protocol and Kyoto Protocols. Possibilities of changeover from CFC/HCFC based refrigerants to HFC or HFO based third generation refrigerants are also covered. At the end of the session, all attendees would able get the absolute clarity on the function, selection and their merits and demerits of various Refrigerants in terms of design of the system and their components, ODP, GWP & TEWI indexes. Duration : 60 Minutes (2 Consecutive Sessions)
