Suction Temperature at Low Pressure Compressor
Suction Temperature at Low Pressure Compressor is the temperature of the refrigerant at the inlet or during the suction stroke.
Symbol: T1
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Discharge Temperature at High Pressure Compressor
Discharge Temperature at High Pressure Compressor is the temperature at which refrigerant leaves the compressor.
Symbol: T3
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Cooling Ratio
Cooling Ratio is defined as the ratio of heat abstracted by the cooling system to the heat abstracted to bring the refrigerant to the initial temperature.
Symbol: q
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Discharge Pressure of Low Pressure Compressor
The Discharge pressure of Low pressure compressor is the pressure of the refrigerant at the point where it exits the Low-Pressure compressor. It is also called Pressure at the entry of intercooler.
Symbol: P2
Measurement: PressureUnit: Bar
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Suction Pressure of Low Pressure Compressor
Suction Pressure of Low Pressure Compressor is the pressure of the refrigerant at the point where it enters the Low pressure compressor. It is also called Evaporator pressure.
Symbol: P1
Measurement: PressureUnit: Bar
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Polytropic Index For Compression
Polytropic Index For Compression is that defined via a polytropic equation of state of the form P∝ρ1+1/n, where P is pressure, ρ is density, and n is the polytropic index.
Symbol: nc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
