Absorption Refrigerator

Sir

We have an Electrlex absorption refrigerator of 2.8cft capacity.Watts 250.It was working with a candle.We would like to recharge the unit with NH3,H2 and H2o.The unit was drained of its charge to rectify a leak.In what proprtion do we charge the system with NH3,H2O and H2 and what is the method of charging i.

Regards

Mathew A

Little general information about Electrolux refrigerator is given below. In addition to this you have to refer the manufacture's manual to find out the capacity and method of charging.

Electrolux principle works on 3 fluid system. Total pressure is the same throughout the system. The third fluid remains mainly in the evaporator thus reducing partial pressure of refrigerant to enable it to evaporate at low pressure and hence low temperature. Liquid Ammonia evaporates in the evaporator in the presence of H2. Partial pressure of H2 provides the pressure difference of NH3 between the condenser and the evaporator. Partial pressures in Electrolux refrigerator in bar is given in the table. (Reference Refrigeration and Air con by C.P Arora p- 460).

section NH3 H20 H2 Total
Condenser 20.33 0 0 20.33
Evaporator inlet 1.516 0 18.814 20.33
Evaporator exit 2.36 0 17.97 20.33
Generator Top 15.54 4.79 0 20.33
