Quick Comparison between Gas Refrigeration Cycle and Vapor Refrigeration Cycle
Gas Refrigeration
Cycle
|
Vapor Refrigeration
Cycle
|
Gases
used as refrigerant
|
Liquids
like Freon is used as refrigerant
|
No
phase change in gas throughout the process (gaseous state only).
|
Phase
change of refrigerant involved at heat exchangers (liquid – vapor)
|
Large
volume of refrigerant required
|
Volume
of referent required per ton of refrigeration is low
|
It
has sensible heat only
|
Both
sensible heat and latent heat involved in the refrigeration
cycle.
|
High
running cost
|
Low
running cost
|
Low
COP
|
High
COP
|
Application: Air craft air-conditioning, not applicable for domestic and industrial
purpose due to its size
