This set of Refrigeration MCQs focuses on “Effect of Various Parameters on VCR System – 2”.

1. What is the use of a flash chamber in VCR system?

a) To increase pressure
b) To decrease pressure
c) To separate vapour and liquid refrigerant
d) To evaporate refrigerant partially
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Flash chamber is used to separate vapour and liquid refrigerant. It is an insulated
container and separates both forms by using the centrifugal effect.

2. What is the amount of mass of vapour refrigerant flowing directly from flash chamber to
suction of the compressor?

a) m1
b) m2
c) m1 + m2
d) m2 – m1
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: As, m1 = Mass of the liquid refrigerant supplied to the evaporator
m2 = Mass of refrigerant (liquid and vapour) circulating through the condenser
Hence, the amount of mass flowing through the flash chamber to the compressor is given by,
= m 2 – m 1.

3. What is the ratio of the mass of refrigerant supplied to evaporator and mass of refrigerant
circulating through condenser i.e., m1 / m2?

a) h1 – h2 / h1 – h4
b) h1 – h4 / h1 – hf4’
c) h2 – h1 / h4 – h1
d) h1 – hf4’ / h1 – h4
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As flash chamber is an insulated cylinder. Heat transfer between flash chamber
and surroundings is zero. So, by considering thermal equilibrium of flash chamber,
Heat taken by the flash chamber = Heat given out by the flash chamber
m2 h4 = m1 hf4’ + (m2 – m1) h1
m2 (h1 – h4) = m1 (h1 – hf4’)
m1 / m2 = [h1 – h4 / h1 – hf4’].

4. What is the use of accumulator or pre-cooler in VCR system?

a) To supply dry saturated vapour and pure liquid refrigerant to the respective equipment
b) To decrease pressure
c) To increase pressure
d) To condense refrigerant partially
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Accumulator or pre-cooler does almost the same work as a flash chamber. It
receives the discharge of a mixture of liquid and vapour refrigerant from expansion valve and
supplies liquid refrigerant only to the evaporator. This discharge again sent to the
accumulator, and only dry saturated vapour refrigerant is further sent to the compressor.

5. What is the use of a liquid pump in the VCR system containing accumulator?

a) To maintain the circulation of the refrigerant

b) To provide liquid refrigerant
c) To expand the liquid refrigerant
d) To pre-evaporate the liquid refrigerant

Answer: a
Explanation: Accumulator separates the mixture of refrigerants, and provides dry saturated
vapour to the compressor and pure liquid refrigerant to the evaporator. So, to maintain the
circulation of the liquid refrigerant in the evaporator, a liquid pump is used.

6. What is the ratio of the mass of refrigerant supplied to evaporator and mass of refrigerant
circulating through condenser i.e., m1 / m2?

a) h1 − h2 / h1 − h4
b) h1 − h4 / h1’ − hf4’
c) h2 − h1 / h4 − h1
d) h1’ − hf4’ / h1 − h4
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As accumulator is an insulated vessel. Heat transfer between flash chamber and
surroundings is zero. So, by considering thermal equilibrium of flash chamber,
Heat taken by the accumulator = Heat given out by the accumulator
m2 h4 + m1 h1’ = m2 h1 + m1 hf4’
m1 (h1’ − hf4’) = m2 (h1 − h4)
m1 / m2 = [h1 − h4 / h1’ − hf4’].

7. What is the use of heat exchanger in the following schematic?

a) Compression
b) Expansion
c) Subcooling of liquid by vapour refrigerant
d) Subcooling of vapour by liquid refrigerant
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Liquid leaves condenser at a higher temperature than vapour leaving the
evaporator. So, liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser is able to be subcooled by passing it
through a heat exchanger which is supplied with the vapour refrigerant from the evaporator.
Hence, this heat exchanger is used to do the subcooling of liquid refrigerant by the vapour
refrigerant.

8. What is the ratio of the mass of the vapour refrigerant and mass of the liquid refrigerant i.e.,
m1 / m 2?

a) 1
b) h1 − h4 / h1’ − hf4’
c) 0
d) h1’ − hf4’ / h1 − h4
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In the case of this kind of heat exchanger, heat transfer takes place between
vapour and liquid refrigerant due to the change of temperature and specific heat. As the mass
flowing through condenser and evaporator is same. Due to heat transfer, mass does not get
affected. Hence,
m1 = m2 or m1 / m2 = 1.

9. What is the use of heat exchanger in the following schematic?

a) Compression
b) Subcooling of liquid by liquid refrigerant
c) Subcooling of liquid by vapour refrigerant
d) Subcooling of vapour by liquid refrigerant
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Liquid leaves the condenser at a higher temperature than liquid leaving the
expansion valve. So, the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser is able to be subcooled by
passing through the heat exchanger which is supplied with the liquid refrigerant from the
expansion valve. Hence, a heat exchanger is used to do the subcooling of liquid refrigerant at a
higher temperature by the liquid refrigerant at a lower temperature.

10. What is the amount of mass of refrigerator leaving the evaporator?

a) m2 − m1
b) m1 − m3
c) m2 + m3
d) m2 − m3
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: As, m1 = Mass of refrigerant leaving the evaporator
m2 = Mass of liquid refrigerant passing through the condenser
m3 = Mass of liquid refrigerant supplied to the heat exchanger from the expansion valve
By taking the help of schematic,
Mass of refrigerator leaving the evaporator, m1 = m2 − m3.

11. What is the ratio of the mass of liquid refrigerant passing through the condenser and mass of
liquid refrigerant supplied to the heat exchanger i.e., m3 / m2?

a) h1 − h2 / h1 − h4
b) h1 − h4 / h1’ − hf4’
c) hf3 − hf3’ / h1 − hf4’
d) h1 − hf4’ / hf3 − hf3’
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Considering the thermal equilibrium of the heat exchanger,
Heat lost by liquid refrigerant from condenser = Heat gained by liquid refrigerant from
expansion valve
m2 hf3 + m3 hf4’ = m3 h1 + m2 hf3’
m2 (hf3 − hf3’) = m3 (h1 − hf4’)
m3 / m2 = [hf3 − hf3’ / h1 − hf4’].
