A Discussion of the Design of Small Ammonia Compressors (Classic Reprint): Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering: ... in Mechanical Engineering (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore the design basics of small ammonia compressors and artificial refrigeration. This concise study presents how compression, cooling, and expansion work together to create refrigeration. It covers general principles, different system types, and practical considerations for builders and engineers.

The book explains core ideas behind compression systems, absorption and brine setups, and direct expansion methods. It contrasts wet and dry compression and discusses how cylinder clearance and stuffing boxes affect performance. It also outlines how capacity is calculated for ammonia compressors and what practical factors influence efficiency and operation.

• How compression and expansion produce cold, with diagrams and practical explanations


• Different refrigeration systems: brine, direct expansion, absorption, and compression layouts


• Design considerations: condenser types, coil layouts, and the role of liquid ammonia


• Performance factors: wet vs dry compression, clearance, and capacity calculations

Ideal for readers seeking a clear, hands-on overview of ammonia refrigeration and compressor design, from early principles to practical system choices.
