The center, or eye, of the impeller is fitted with blades that draw refrigerant vapor into radial passages that are internal to the impeller body. The rotation of the impeller causes the refrigerant vapor to accelerate within these passages, increasing its velocity and kinetic energy. The accelerated refrigerant vapor leaves the impeller and enters the diffuser passages. These passages start out small and become larger as the refrigerant travels through them. As the size of the diffuser passage increases, the velocity, and therefore the kinetic energy, of the refrigerant decreases. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is not destroyed—only converted from one form to another. Thus, the refrigerant’s kinetic energy (velocity) is converted to static energy (or static pressure). Refrigerant, now at a higher pressure, collects in a larger space around the perimeter of the compressor called the volute. The volute also becomes larger as the refrigerant travels through it. Again, as the size of the volute increases, the kinetic energy is converted to static pressure. In this example centrifugal compressor, refrigerant vapor is drawn into the compressor and enters the center of impeller. This particular centrifugal compressor uses multiple impellers to perform the compression process in stages. The impellers rotate on a common shaft that is connected to the motor. In the air-conditioning industry, centrifugal compressors are most commonly used in prefabricated water chillers ranging from 100 to 3,000 tons [350 to 10,500 kW]. They are also used in field-assembled water chillers up to 8,500 tons [30,000 kW]. This period discusses several accessories used in comfort-cooling refrigeration systems. Air-Cooled Condensers A typical air-cooled condenser uses propeller-type fans to draw outdoor air over a finned-tube heat transfer surface. The temperature difference between the hot refrigerant vapor that is flowing through the tubes and the cooler outdoor air induces
