PERFORMANCE DIAGRAMS
A simplified evaporator-compressor-condenser combination for an air-cooled direct expansion system will illustrate the methods used to determine the system performance.
The capacity of each of the components can be defined in. terms of certain variables. Some of these variables are internal to the system, such as refrigerant temperatures in the evapo rator and condenser. Others are external, such as the air flow, quantity and air temperatures entering the npndi^nggr and evaporator.
Determination of the performance of the three components operating together as a system involves the elimination of the internal variables by the process of simultaneously, solving

The lines of constant condenser entering-air temperature can be plotted on Part B of Fig. 4 by transferring each point of intersection in the upper portion vertically downward to the corresponding evaporator temperature line on Part B of Fig. 4.
Part B of Fig. 4 is then re-plotted on Fig. 1, using the com mon variable of evaporator temperature, resulting in the diagram shown in Fig. 5. It is now possible to determine the refrigerating capacity of the system for a given combination of evaporator and condenser entering-air temperatures, the. two external variables.

one of the components. Since these equations <*An become very
complex, an equivalent graphical method is often simpler. This
graphical method offers the further advantage that the pic
torial representation makes it readily possible to visualize-
tiie relative importance of the major variables. Thus, the de-
oguer is able to make quick estimates of the effects of modifi-.. cations in the performance characteristics of each component.'
The development of the graphical method is illustrated by Figs. 1 to 6.
