What is the main difference between a dry evaporator and a flooded evaporator?


A dry evaporator allows the entire refrigerant to evaporate in the pipe upstream of the compressor; in a flooded evaporator, part of the refrigerant remains in a liquid state within the evaporator
A dry evaporator has a lower operating pressure than a flooded one
A dry evaporator is filled with refrigerant liquid, whilst a flooded evaporator is filled with gas
A dry evaporator does not require an expansion valve, whereas a flooded one does

Ťažká

Which statement best describes the behaviour of R717 and mineral compressor oil?


In an R717 system, a return oil line cannot be used because the oil is too hot
R717 does not mix with compressor oil, so the oil remains in the system on the high-pressure side as a layer above the R717
R717 does not mix with compressor oil, so the oil remains in the system on the low-pressure side as a layer beneath the R717
