Conair MPW, MPA manual HOW IT Works Water Cooled

Page 11

Water-cooled models use tube-in-tube heat exchangers to condense the hot, compressed, refrigerant gas from the compressor to a cool liquid.

The cool liquid refrigerant passes through a filter/dryer, which protects the system from moisture or other contami- nants. An in-line sight glass gives a visual indication of proper refrigerant charge and any dangerous moisture pre- sent in the system.

The refrigerant passes through a thermal expansion valve, where it expands, cools and is precisely metered into the refrigerant heat exchanger (evaporator).

The evaporator removes the heat from the process fluid.
