Vapour Jet Refrigerator And Heat Pump

Product Description

Description of DIDAC Vapour Jet Refrigerator And Heat Pump:

A bench top example of a Vapour Jet Refrigerator And Heat Pump that is driven by a heat source. The unit operates on a combined Rankine and vapour compression refrigeration cycle using a low pressure, non-toxic ozone friendly refrigerant.

Vapour Jet Refrigerator And Heat Pump A simple ejector performs the expansion and compression processes involved in the combined cycles. A small electric motor drives the pump of the Rankine cycle. The heat source is electrically heated and produces high pressure vapour to drive the ejector.
