| refrigerant subcooler |
heat exchanger, after the condenser, for
subcooling the condensed refrigerant. |
| | |
| refrigerant subcooling |
process of cooling refrigerant below condensing
temperature for a given pressure; also, cooling a liquid below its freezing
point where it can exist only in a state of unstable equilibrium. See
supercooling |
| | |
| refrigerant-liquid pressure reducer |
device or devices, in a refrigerating system, in
which the pressure of the fluid is reduced from that of condensed liquid to
that of the evaporator. |
| | |
| refrigerated volume |
space under refrigeration. |
| | |
| refrigerating capacity (gross) |
total rate of heat removal from all sources by
the evaporator of a refrigerating system at stated conditions. It is
numerically equal to the system refrigerating effect. |
| | |
| refrigerating capillary tube |
tube of small bore [down to 0.020 in. i.d. (0.50
mm)] used for the simultaneous purposes of metering the refrigerant and of
accomplishing the expansion process between condenser and evaporator in
refrigerating systems. See also tube. Compare refrigerant expansion valve. |
| | |
| refrigerating cargo vessel |
vessel whose holds are totally or partly
refrigerated. |
| | |
| refrigerating heating system |
interconnected parts forming a closed circuit in
which refrigerant is circulated, and having the condenser located to transfer
heat to the zone to be heated |
| | |
| refrigerating plant |
refrigerating system. |
| | |
| refrigerating process |
refrigeration. |
