Difference between Vapour absorption refrigeration system and vapour compression refrigeration system:
Vapour Absorption refrigeration system:
- Vapour absorption refrigeration system has less maintenance.
- It has less wear comparatively than compression refrigeration system.
- It produces low sounds at the time of operation.
- This type of refrigeration system has small motors than the compression type.
- In vapour absorption refrigeration system has no moving parts in it.
- Vapour absorption refrigeration system is operated under designed COP.
- This type of system the capacity is not decreased when there is even decreases in pressure, because it can be controlled.
- The performance of the vapour absorption system has no changes even there is any variation in load.
- This type of system is used for large capacity works.
Vapour Compression Refrigeration System:
- This type of refrigeration system required more maintenance.
- It is subjected to more wear than the absorption refrigeration system.
- This type of system generates more noise at the time of operation.
- Compression refrigerator has large motor than absorption system.
- This type of system has no constant COP to operate it varies according to the evaporator conditions.
- The capacity is decreased in this system when the pressure of the evaporator decreased.
- The performance is not stable and poor at the time of variation in load.
- Vapour absorption refrigeration system is used for less capacity works.
