Working with heat pumps and compressors

Carnot's theorem (thermodynamics) Carnot's theorem, developed in 1824 by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, also called Carnot's rule, is a principle that specifies limits on the maximum efficiency any heat engine can obtain, which thus solely depends on the difference between the hot and cold temperature reservoirs.

Carnot's theorem (thermodynamics)

Carnot's theorem states: All heat engines between two heat reservoirs are less efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same reservoirs.Every Carnot engine between a pair of heat reservoirs is equally efficient, regardless of the working substance employed or the operation details. The formula for this maximum efficiency is where TC is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, TH is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir, and the efficiency is the ratio of the work done by the engine to the heat drawn out of the hot reservoir.

Based on modern thermodynamics, Carnot's theorem is a result of the second law of thermodynamics. ) is driving a heat engine with less efficiency ( and ). . . Heat Pump Suppliers.Com.

Low temp compressors are the best as they have a habbit of being able to suck down nicely and tend to work at a higher pressur differance.

Second is small power usage is nice, easier on power bill and environment, so I look for mini-deep freeser compressors as usualy they range from 2~4 Amp. I prefer to have the oil seps there to keep oil from going in or out of the compresser as wzrl said it is not needed despit how irrelivant it was to the design being showen, but for some one making one from scratch, He is indeed correct the intake oil sep is optional if you wont be using it to recycle, IE it will only be a recovery machine with out a large intake oil sep (There is a way around that taking vapour from the first tank holding the old recovered refrigerant and transfering it to a new tank, it achives the same job but you need another whole new tank!

The unit I built I just drain the old oil ). Plumbing: What ever works best yet reduces any stress points and isolates any vibration.

The Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto - Page 18

Nitrogen is used in the HVAC industry because it is non-flammable and relatively safe. When propane is mixed with oxygen, it becomes dangerously flammable. If you already have access to nitrogen, or another inert gas, you should use it instead of propane. So when we left off in Brazing (part 4), the brazed joints were looking pretty good, but there were horrible problems with the little black flakes of copper oxide that had formed outside, but more worrisome, inside our brazed tubes.

The flakes were caused by oxygen combining with copper at high heat. Daox suggested using a vacuum pump to pump out the air before we brazed. The common practice in HVAC work is to use an inert gas, usually nitrogen, to displace the air. So I trotted down to the welding store and added up the equipment: So I remembered that some idiot tried propane as an inert gas for welding. Then came some 1/4 inch tube. 22a Refrigerant Details and Online Ordering at Enviro-Safe, Inc.
