How are plate heat exchangers used in an ammonia refrigeration system?..

Answer / suresh

Plate heat exchangers are pretty widely used In ammonia
refrigeration systems, and they can be much smaller than the
equivalent tubular exchanger. They work best flooded. A
flooded exchanger system needs a way to separate the liquid
from the vapor. A typical system has a vessel which acts as
knockout drum, accumulator and header tank in one, along
with the heat exchanger. Liquid ammonia flows from the
vessel to the exchanger, and liquid/vapor is returned to the
middle of the drum. Vapor is removed from the top of the
drum. The liquid/vapor mixture from the exchanger has a
lower density than the liquid entering the exchanger, so
gravity provides the driving force to circulate the refrigerant.

X is a solid having a white colour at room temperature. It has a density about 2g/cc. Although it has melting point near 325 degree Celsius, its properties start degrading above 260 degree Celsius. The coefficient of friction is very low about 0.1. It has very good dielectric properties especially at higher radio frequencies. It has a very high bulk resistivity. It is chemically inert. It is also resistant to van der Waals force. It is hydrophobic as well as lipophobic. Creep or ‘Cold Flow’ has been observed in X.

Question 68 – Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) could be calculated using the formula BOD = (DOi - DOf) (Vb / Vs) where Vb = Volume of bottle in ml, Vs = Volume of sample in ml, DOi = Initial dissolved oxygen in mg / L, DOf = Final dissolved oxygen in mg / L. (a) By using a bottle of Vb = 300 ml with sample Vs = 30 ml, find the BOD if DOi = 8.8 mg / L and DOf = 5.9 mg / L. (b) By using a bottle Vb = 600 mL with sample Vs = 100 mL, find the BOD if DOi = 8.8 mg / L and DOf = 4.2 mg / L. (c) Find the average BOD = [ Answer of (a) Answer of (b) ] / 2. (d) If the BOD-5 test for (a) - (c) is run on a secondary effluent using a nitrification inhibitor, find the nitrogenous BOD (NBOD) = TBOD - CBOD. Let TBOD = 45 mg / L and CBOD = Answer of (c).
