Typically in AC & R system , the temperature of refrigerant rises in the range of 80 ℃ to 120 ℃ after compression . This refrigerant is further passed to the water / air cooled condenser to condense near about 40 ℃.
While there is condensing of refrigerant in the condenser section , the total heat contained in compressor is in superheated form and this high Temperature / high pressure gas ( ammonia / Freon )) gets wasted to the environment .
This superheat temperature of the gas in the compressor which is part of the total heat of the gas is brought down to the saturation level by desuperheater and hence the saturated temperature is passed on to the condenser . Therefore the life of condenser increases which in term results in large amount of energy saving .
Maniks Desuperheater Water Heater is the alternate accessory for an Air Conditioning & Refrigeration plant that can be used to extract superheat of the refrigerant which is therefore used for different purposes .
The discharge temperatures of various types of compressors are generally as follows ,
1 ) Screw Compressor ( Indirect cooled ) |
70 80 ° C |
2 ) Screw Compressor ( Injection cooled ) |
50 60 ° C |
3 ) Reciprocating Compressors |
85 110 ° C |
4 ) Boosters ( Rotaries & Reciprocating ) |
75 85 ° C |
