EVAPORATOR CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION


id071100806200

•  A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator through the evaporator inlet tube and is routed so it flows through the partitioned first four plate/fin sections.
•  The next four plate/fin sections are partitioned to force the refrigerant to flow toward the other end of the evaporator.
•  The next five plate/fin sections are partitioned to force the refrigerant to flow toward the bottom of the evaporator.
•  Refrigerant then continues through to the remaining five plate/fin sections and then moves out of the evaporator through the evaporator outlet tube.
•  This W-pass flow pattern transfers the flow of refrigerant and oil through the evaporator.
