Hg; determine the heat content of the mixture per pound of dry air,: including the heat content of the liquid above 32 F. From Equation 12, A = 0.24 (/ - 0) + W (1059.2 + 0.45/). where As = 1059.2 + 0.45/ (Empirical equation derived from Keenan's Steam Tables:) / = 75 F. W = 0.01873 lb of water vapor (Table 5). A = 0.24 (75 - 0) + 0.01873 (1059.2 + 0.45 X 75).

Compression Systems. a. Mechanical--Reciprocating, Rotary, and Centrifugal. b. Ejector. , ....... 2. Absorption Systems. a. Closed. b. Open. . - Of these, the mechanical systems are the most extensively used at the present time and will be given complete consideration in the following discussion. REFRIGERANTS The common refrigerants are volatile liquids which produce refrigera tion by their evaporation under reduced pressure. Factors usually in fluencing the choice of refrigerant are safety, chemical stability, operating pressures and adaptability for the type Of system to be used. Of the six refrigerants whose properties are listed in Tables 1. to 6, ammonia, carbon dioxide, dichlorodifluorometh.ane (F12) and methyl chloride are used in reciprocating and rotary mechanical compression systems. Monofluorotrichloromethane (Fn) and water are used in cen trifugal compression systems. Water is used almost to the exclusion of other refrigerants in ejector systems. Closed absorption systems may use ammonia, methyl chloride, water, or others as the refrigerant. MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS While the mechanical refrigeration systems differ in the; methods used for compression, of the refrigerant vapor, they are all fundamentally similar. Refrigerant vapor, usually saturated or slightly superheated, is j drawn into a compressor (see Fig. 1).. It is then compressed and dis charged at a higher pressure to a condenser. The vapor is condensed as it . contacts a heat transfer surface over-which is flowing a'cooling medium such.as water, air or a combination of the -two.. The liquid: refrigerant 37
