Q. With reciprocating compressor in vapour compression refrigeration system, wetcompression is not desirable because (Solved)
1. liquid trapped up in the head of cylinder may damage the compressor valves
2. COP of the cycle decreases
3. volumetric efficiency of compressor decreases
4. mass flow rate per ton of refrigerant increases
- a. liquid trapped up in the head of cylinder may damage the compressor valves
