Thermosiphon Receiver
Understanding How Thermosiphon Oil Cooling Works
Thermosiphon oil cooling uses refrigerant condensate as a passive cooling agent. Compressing a refrigerant gas creates heat which must be removed from the refrigeration system. The heat is transferred in a few different ways:
- Transferred to the refrigerant and out into the atmosphere through the condenser
- Some heat is transferred to the space in the refrigerating system
- The rest is transferred to the oil, and must be removed by other means
Thermosiphon cooling passively cools utilizing a refrigerant condensate and a piping system transferring heat between a heat exchanger and high-pressure receiver.
Horizontal and Vertical Thermosiphon Systems Save on Energy Costs
Thermosiphon oil cooling systems use pressure and gravity to transfer gases and liquids and expel heat into the atmosphere. Because thermosiphon cooling systems use hydraulics in favor of pumps or any other energy-consuming components, they are more energy efficient and give you greater long-term efficiency.
Perfect Heat Transfer in Thermosiphon Systems Require Thorough Calculation
Every bit of waste in your refrigerating system affects the dollars and cents on your bottom line. Implementing a thermosiphon system in your industrial refrigeration system is more than just piping. The most important variables for effectiveness include coolant in the system, pipe diameter, and receiver elevation. Controlling the velocity of vapors through piping is crucial for perfecting heat transfer and maintaining a smooth flow. Controlling heat transfer between the evaporator and condenser is crucial for maintaining precise temperatures.
