UNIT - I

Compressors-Types : constructional details of reciprocating compressors - volumetric efficiency- factors affecting volumetric efficiency-effects of evaporator and condenser pressures- centrifugal compressor - constructional details, applications : Comparison with reciprocating compressors - screw compressors, working principle, single screw and double screw compressor, lubricating oils- rotary compressor-single vane and multi vane compressor surging-Electric motors and control circuits.

UNIT - II

Condensers: types-water cooled & air cooled condensers-evaporative type, thermal design of compressor-temperature distribution and heat flow in a condenser, pressure drop, fouling factor-LMTD correction factor. (No problems) Cooling Towers: Classification-performance of cooling towers-analysis of counter flow cooling towers-enthalpy-temperature diagram of air and water. Cooling ponds: types-cross flow cooling towers-procedure for calibration of outlet conditions.

UNIT - III
