    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  2 года назад

      It suddenly expands to there's less energy per volume. Effectively the molecules that make the substance are therefore not going to collide as much because they have more space, so the temperature reduces.

  • @patrickscheidegger

    i know this is kinda an idiotic question and/or idea. but i acquired a refrigerated dryer that functions the same as explained in this video. i got it from my father, a dentist, who had to upgrade his euipment. i use pneumatic tools, but nothing expensive nor special. just the average Harbor Freight collection. so i don't care much to dry my air. my girlfriend bought these little monsters called axototls. I like them. But they require cold water, around 18C. And a water chiller for an aquarium runs at least $300 for one that actually uses refrigerant. It's a LOT OVERPRICED as I could buy a entire fridge for the same price. So I was wondering if I could use the chiller dryer as a water chiller instead, by removing the filter from the system, and adding a good 500gal/hr water pump that would push the aquarium water through instead of air. the concerns i have are regarding water pressure vs. air pressure, and possibility of a freeze up. This modified
    usage doesn't have to be perfect. Just keep the aquarium water ±2℃ of 18℃. Actually the axototls are fine down to around 10℃, and can go even lower for short periods of time. The danger is when the water is too warm, which room temperature is the borderline, as these animals lose their ability to process food and get bloated and die very quickly. So you can easily understand now why I promised to fix the issue for her as she was crying because she lost one, as she didn't even have a thermometer for the aquarium. I'm a die-hard DIYer, as I can trust and depend on my tools to last a lifetime, whereas 99% of products are a huge waste of money, as they are not made to last at all, instead purposely manufacted with a set life, that is the shortest amount of time they can get away with. Anyways, if I remove the filter that collects the water from the air when it is chilled, essentially that would allow for water to flow through instead of air, provided I use a water pump for circulation, correct? As without the filter it's basically just a closed loop that is chilled to a temperature that can be adjusted and set by adjustment of the TXV as you just illustrated in this video, essentially using it as a thermostat. I figure as long as I can provide a fast moving flow of the water, and have the TXV adjusted in the correct range to reach a constant, there should be no problems. As the aquarium holds 60 gallons, and the pump I bought for this project is actually made for pond filtration. It's 30 watts and pumps up to 500gal/h. But it's flow is completely adjustable from 0 to 500, and it can be used submersed or "inline" (not submersed) - i plan to use it inline so i can easily adjust the flow and and choose where the water intake and output are. The pump is made to deal with a lot of "stuff", such as clogs, power outage, high strain, etc but has built in solutions that will protect the pump from cooking. It says it can pump a column of water into the air to a height of 7'6". The make and model of refrigerated dryer I have is: model # WRA-0010-A69 made by: Apollo Dental Products. The rated flow is 10 SCFM. Standard operating inlet air pressure is 100 PSIG. Factory test pressures are: 144 PSIG LOW SIDE / 400 PSIG HIGH SIDE. Max inlet air pressure is 200 PSIG. I haven't had a chance yet to look up how the Suction Service Valve functions, but if anyone who helps or is just interested, I can post the electrical and refrigerant diagrams attached to the unit, as well as photos illustrating all parts and functions. I have it opened up right now, and to me, this thing seems simple, just like a window AC unit or minifridge. I just wanted to ask some of you who work with this equipment regularly, if what I intend to do is possible, and if there are any precautions or tips that might save me some time. I want to just go ahead and test it out, but I will wait a week for any replies, as this thing could maybe save me $300. I don't want to destroy it. Simply repurpose it. Thanks in advance to anyone who lends a hand! I don't want to be accused of SPAM, so I will wait for approval from you Paul, as this is your channel, to post a link to my website where I will have the diagrams and photos posted. Thanks again everyone!

    @mechanicaltour5367 Год назад +1

    The expansion valve removes pressure from the liquid refrigerant to allow expansion or change of state from a liquid to a vapor in the evaporator. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant entering the expansion valve is quite warm. This may be verified by feeling the liquid line at its connection to the expansion valve.

    • @condor5635
      @condor5635 5 лет назад +3

      harinath prajapati - great question I think. Ike fun - correlating this to being cylindrical because of strength is short sighted. I am sure the pressure in this little cylinder is not that significant. Probably cost and ease of manufacturing is more of the driving force behind the design. I think it was an excellent question - you should not belittle people asking very valid questions.

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  5 лет назад +4

      I actually like that you've questioned it. You've looked at something, questioned why it is this way and considered how it can be improved. That's the engineering mindset. It's cylindrical for strength, ease of manufacturing, universal fit on any pipe and equal heat transfer.

    • @teravolt6113
      @teravolt6113 5 лет назад

      In automotive TXVs (i've just laid my hands on one i'm going to play with) the sensing bulb is still cylindrical, but it's "drowned" inside the refrigerant flow so that heat is directly transferred to it, and not through a pipe that acts as an interface between the refrigerant and the bulb...

    What are the symptoms if something is wrong with the expansion valve? If ice forms on the evaporator coils, can I fix it by reducing the flow of refrigerant?

    • @teravolt6113
      @teravolt6113 2 года назад

      Actually in auto AC coil icing is prevented by keeping flow steady (rather than decreasing it further) as evaporator refrigerant temp drops around 32F, so that the coil floods and the superheat becomes nil. That is, the TXV is acting as an AXV (automatic expansion valve) at that point. Still there's a compressor capacity control system should the return air temperature/refrigerant temperature drop down too much.
      However, gas cross charges are used as the control charge.
      Decreasing flow so that superheat climbs up actually results in the coil starving and progressively icing up from the inlet to the outlet.

  • @KarlAlfredRoemer
    @KarlAlfredRoemer 4 года назад

    Why is the sensing-bulb mounted directly behind the evaporator? Why not directly in front of the compressor? If the superheat behind the evaporator ist tuned perfectly to 1K, it could be 10 K before the compressor which should be unnecessary and inefficient. What do i think wrong?

    ok very cool vid but I have a question in minute 4:16 you explain that the pin gets push by high pressure saturated liquid pushing the diaphragm up that pushes refrigerant to the sensing bulb and back and fort depending on the temp that you get from the evaporation coil so this refrigerant is never gets passed the diaphragm down to the pin? its only in the sensing bulb and capillary tubing and on top of the diaphragm?
    its independent from the refrigerant running in the lines right ?
