Process running by itself Process needing driving power

Mankind had an intellectual difficulty with the production of refrigeration: We could not learn it from nature.

The problem: One has to add energy to remove energy.

KKCompressor and Aftercooler

• Purpose: Increase the pressure and reduce entropy

• Types of compressors

• Volumetric compressors: piston, screw

• Turbocompressors


KKPiston compressor

Oilfree labyrinth piston compressors. Preferred by CERN until about 1980.


KKScrew Compressor

Oil flooded screw compressor preferred at CERN since about 1985.

KKHow to evaluate efficiency and to identify

losses• When discussing expanders, we shortly

talked about reversibility• In power engineering there is always a best

method to do something, i. e. no unnecessary losses = reversibility

• Losses can be idebtified by the deviation from reversibility

• Comparison is the input power• We have to give refrigeration a value in the

scale of the input power• Carnot ratio


KKThe definition of exergy

• Minimum amount of work to produce refrigeration

• Exergy= Mimimum Power= Q*(Ta-T0)/T0

• Minimum amount of power to change the state of a fluid from an initial state 1 to a final state 2:

• e2-e1 = h2-h1 + Ta*(s2-s1)
