notes

Period 2 described the refrigeration cycle of 2-stage centrifugal water chillers

with a pressure-enthalpy chart. The operation of the purge system for low-

pressure chillers was also presented.

Period 3 further explained the operation of the centrifugal compressor. It

described the use of impeller inlet vanes as one method for controlling

centrifugal compressor capacity. Surge, multistage compressors, and

adjustable-frequency drives were also discussed.
