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

Answer Posted / 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 strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
