Episode: Demand Cooling + Liquid and Vapor Injection
Description: Trevor Matthews is back and dropping more compressor knowledge on us. This time, he talks about demand cooling and liquid and vapor injection. In low-temperature applications, the discharge temperature would get very high and lead to oil breakdown and thermal overload, so demand cooling is a means of cooling the compressor. Demand cooling injects saturated refrigerant into the compressor body to cool it down. You're not jamming liquid into the compressor; the refrigerant flashes, which achieves a cooling effect. A demand cooling system consists of a module, temperature probe, liquid line solenoid valve, and injection...
