FUNDAMENTAL DESING PRINCIPLES

There are certain fundamental refrigeration design principles which are vital to the proper functioning of any system.

1.  The system must be clean, dry, and free from all contaminants.

2.  The compressor must be operated within safe temperature, pressure, and electrical limits.

3.  The system must be designed and operated so that poper lubrication is maintained in the compressor at all times.

4.  The system must be designed and operated so that excessive liquid refrigerantdoes not enter the compressor. Refrigeration compressors are designed to pump refrigerant vapor, and will tolerante only a limited quantity of liquid refrigerant.

5.  Poper refrigerant feed to the evaporator must be maintained, and excessive presure drop in the refrigerant piping must be avoided.

If these five steps are accomplished, then operation of the system is reasonably certain to be trouble free. If any one is neglected, Then eventual operating problems are almost certain to occur. These basic fundamentals are closely inter-related, and must always be kept in mind with regard to the aplication of any component, or whenever any change in system operation in contemplated.
