Aircraft Comfort – The Vital Role of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning in aircraft

working of air craft refrigeration as an alternative to VCR refrigeration

Can you imagine the aircraft comfort conditions at a height of 30,000 to 40,000 feet? Because the ambient temperature is of the order of -20 degrees C approximately and pressure of the order of 0.3 bar approximately. Now, imagine persons or passengers traveling in airplanes would be at risk or they will not be in … Read more

How do we determine the refrigeration capacity experimentally ?

Any refrigeration device’s performance is measured in terms of its cooling capacity or refrigeration capacity in kW or Ton. There are many terms available to call the capacity of refrigeration systems such as cooling capacity, refrigeration capacity, refrigeration power, or cooling power or refrigeration effect. What is the cooling capacity or refrigeration capacity or refrigeration … Read more

Difference between Ton of refrigeration and liter of refrigerator
