Desing, manufacturing and performance test of a refrigerating device working with Ericson cycle

In this study, a refigerating device having a thermal compressor and expansioncylinder was designed, manufactured and tested. Using the thermodynamicanalysis, rod diameter, maximum pressure, mass, cyclic work and cyclic coolingratio of the refrigeration device variations were investigated. The variations ofexpansion piston, inlet and outlet valve depending on the crank angle wereanalyzed using adiabatic expansion analysis. Experiments were performed atlaboratory conditions using an compressor at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and4.0 bar pressure. It was obtained that decrease 5, 2, 0, -4, -6, -8, -11,-13 ºC in theambient temperature depending on the compressor pressure.Science Code : 708Key Words : Refrigerating Device, Ericsson cyclePage Number : 153Adviser : Prof. Dr. Halit KARABULUT
