This course is the third in a 4-course series.
- Part 1 is based on understanding thermodynamic concepts and using pressure enthalpy charts.
- Part 2 builds onto part 1 but uses thermodynamic software instead of pressure enthalpy charts for analysis and goes into additional depth.
- Part 3 (consisting of Parts 3A and 3B) builds on parts 1 and 2 to apply thermodynamics to understand air conditioning and refrigeration systems from ¼ hp size units to 300,000 hp size units. Part 3A focuses on pure substances and mixed refrigerant liquefaction systems. Part 3B focuses on nitrogen expansion liquefaction systems.
Note that each course in the series is a “stand alone” course. It is not necessary to first complete Parts 1 and 2 in order to study Parts 3A & 3B, provided the learner already possesses the prerequisite knowledge needed.
This Part 3A course uses the laws of thermodynamics to show how common cooling and liquefaction systems operate. It starts with the basic car air conditioner and then covers refrigeration systems that are used to achieve -40 F. Then it moves on to explaining how cascade systems which use different refrigerants to obtain very low temperatures operate without mixing the refrigerants. Finally, the course shows how mixed refrigerant systems operate and how they can be combined with a single refrigerant, such as propane, to provide a simple-to-use and efficient liquefaction process.
