High and low temperature test chamber refrigeration system knowledge

Understanding the refrigeration system is essential when it comes to high and low temperature test chambers, as it forms the core of their operation. Many users often find themselves confused about how these systems work. This chapter aims to provide a detailed explanation of the refrigeration system used in high and low temperature test chambers.

In a single-stage refrigeration cycle commonly used in these chambers, R404A is typically the refrigerant of choice. The evaporation temperature of R404A at atmospheric pressure is -46.5°C. However, due to the heat transfer temperature difference of the air-cooled condenser, which is usually around 10°C, the lowest achievable temperature inside the chamber is generally -36.5°C. If lower temperatures are required for specific testing purposes, the evaporation pressure can be reduced, allowing the evaporation temperature to go as low as -50°C.

It's important to note that as the evaporation temperature decreases, so does the evaporation pressure. When the evaporation temperature becomes too low, some common refrigerants may reach their freezing point, which can prevent proper refrigerant flow and circulation. Additionally, lower evaporation pressure increases the volume of the refrigerant, which reduces its mass flow rate. To maintain the necessary cooling capacity, the compressor must increase its suction volume, leading to larger and less efficient compressors.

The refrigeration system in high and low temperature test chambers also plays a key role in cooling and dehumidifying the environment inside the chamber. This same system allows the chamber to operate in two different states, depending on the parameters set by the user. These settings can be customized based on the specific requirements of the test, making the system highly versatile. With the help of our operation manual or instructional videos, users can easily understand and operate the system effectively.

Whether you're conducting thermal stress tests, environmental simulations, or material evaluations, a well-designed refrigeration system ensures accurate and reliable results. Understanding how the refrigeration cycle works not only helps in optimizing performance but also in troubleshooting potential issues. By following best practices and using the provided resources, users can maximize the efficiency and longevity of their high and low temperature test chambers.
