Simple Vapour Compression Refrigeration System (with diagram) | Thermodynamics

In this article we will discuss about simple vapour compression refrigeration system. Introduction to Vapour Compression System: For a closed cycle of refrigeration employing the condensable refrigerant vapour, the following processes are required: (i) Compression of the vapour, thereby increasing pressure. (ii) Condensing these vapours and rejecting heating to the cooling medium (usually water or atmospheric air). (iii) Expanding the [...]

Top 20 Advantages of HVDC Transmission | Electrical Engineering

DC transmission possesses many technical and economic advantages over ac transmission. Some of the advantages are given below: Advantage # 1. Cheaper in Cost: Bipolar HVDC transmission lines require two-pole conductors while ac system requires 3 conductors to carry power. HVDC transmission can utilize earth return and, therefore, does not require a double circuit while EHV-AC transmission always requires a [...]

3 Main Types of HVDC Links | Transmission | Electrical Engineering

The high voltage dc links may be classified into: 1. Monopolar Link 2. Bipolar Link 3. Homopolar Link. Type # 1. Monopolar DC Link: As the name suggests, monopolar link has only one conductor and return path is provided by permanent earth or sea. The line usually operates with negative polarity with respect to ground so as to reduce corona [...]

Equipments Used in HVDC Transmission System | Electrical Engineering

In HVDC transmission system or HVDC back-to-back coupling station, ac is converted into dc by means of a combination of converter-transformers and concerter valves. The conversion of ac into dc is called rectification. At the receiving end of the HVDC transmission line, dc is converted back to ac by means of converter valves and and converter transformers. The conversion of [...]
