Technical description and working principle of Walk-in- Cold storage and
Walk -in –freezer room
Introduction: -
The walk in cold storage is used for storing of various perishable materials under controlled
temperature / RH condition so as to retard its degradation. The controlled condition is achieved by
means of refrigeration.
Refrigeration is the process of lowering the temperature less than the surrounding. There
are so many refrigeration processes like vapour compression, vapour absorption, and steam jet
refrigeration. For walk in cold store supplied by RINAC the type of refrigeration used is vapor
compression with Freon refrigerant. Considering the same our reference of refrigeration system in
the succeeding paragraph would be merely vapour compression type only.
Working principle: -
Vapour compression refrigeration system works on the principle of Bell-colemann cycle. The
working of the same is illustrated in the succeeding paragraph.
The expansion valve reduces the pressure and temperature of the liquid refrigerant and then the low
temperature and low-pressure liquid vapour mixture enters the evaporator. Since the evaporator is
installed in the room it absorbs the heat from the room and cools it to the required temperature.
During the heat absorption, the refrigerant is converted to low pressure and low temperature vapour
and then it passes to the compressor through the suction pipe and valve and the cycle repeats.
Now let us consider the practical working of walk-in-cold store. The cold room consists of the
following assemblies: -
i) The insulated chamber made of insulated RPUF/EPS panels of various thickness and
lamination (PCGI/PCGI, PCGI/SS etc.)
9
ii) The outdoor unit also called the condensing unit consisting of compressor, condenser coil,
condenser fan, filter drier, hand shut off valve, Receiver, liquid line solenoid valve etc.
iii) Indoor unit also called the evaporating unit consisting of expansion valve, distributor,
evaporator coil and fans.
iv) Interconnecting refrigerant piping between indoor and outdoor unit.
v) Electrical panel housed in the condensing unit for starting the various components like
compressor, condenser, evaporator etc.
vi) Electrical wiring between the controller, electrical starter panel and evaporator.
vii) Control panel to control the working of the system.
Operation: -
The incoming power supply is connected to the MCB of the electrical panel and power is
available to the system. When the MCB is put to ON position. From the control panel / controller
based on the set point and actual temperature sensed by the sensor placed in the return air
path, the control voltage go to the overhead relay/ fuse of the evaporator and evaporator fan gets
on. The compressor and condenser fan starts after the preset time delay. The compressor and
condenser fan runs along with the evaporator fan till the set point is reached and thereafter the
condenser fan and compressor gets off and only evaporator fan runs. Whenever the actual
temperature in the room rises above the set point, the control voltage goes to the compressor
relay and the cycle repeats.
Safety: -
The system is provided with safety devices like HP/LP cutouts, compressor OLR/ single-phase
preventer etc. which ensures that power supply will be available to compressor only when there
are healthy conditions.
10
Compressor
The compressor (sealed in the compressor housing) draws cold, low pressure refrigerant gas from
the evaporator and pumps hot, high pressure refrigerant gas out to the condenser
The compressor is the heart of the system. The compressor does just what it’s name is. It
compresses the low pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and compresses it into a
high pressure vapor.
The inlet to the compressor is called the “Suction Line”. It brings the low pressure vapor into
the compressor.
After the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high pressure Vapor, it removes it to the
outlet called the “Discharge Line”.
11
Condenser
The “Discharge Line” leaves the compressor and runs to the inlet of the condenser.
Because the refrigerant was compressed, it is a hot high pressure vapor (as pressure goes up –
temperature goes up).
The hot vapor enters the condenser and starts to flow through the tubes.
Cool air is blown across the out side of the finned tubes of the condenser (usually by a fan or
water with a pump).
Since the air is cooler than the refrigerant, heat jumps from the tubing to the cooler air (energy
goes from hot to cold – “latent heat”).
As the heat is removed from the refrigerant, it reaches it’s “saturated temperature” and starts to
“flash” (change states), into a high pressure liquid.
The high pressure liquid leaves the condenser through the “liquid line” and travels to the
“metering device”. Sometimes running through a filter dryer first, to remove any dirt or foreign
particles.
12
Oil separator
OIL SEPARATOR to be used with flooded systems, low temperature systems and systems with long
runs of piping or other factors that tend to cause oil return problems. They help maintain oil volume
levels in the compressor oil sump
Solenoid valve
A solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve for use with liquid or gas controlled by running or
stopping an electric current through a solenoid, which is a coil of wire, thus changing the state of
the valve. The operation of a solenoid valve is similar to that of a light switch, but typically controls
the flow of air or water, whereas a light switch typically controls the flow of electricity. Solenoid
valves may have two or more ports: in the case of a two-port valve the flow is switched on or off; in
the case of a three-port valve, the outflow is switched between the two outlet ports. Multiple
solenoid valves can be placed together on a manifold.
Solenoid valves are the most frequently used control elements in fluidics. Their tasks are to shut
off, release, dose, distribute or mix fluids. They are found in many application areas. Solenoids
offer fast and safe switching, high reliability, long service life, good medium compatibility of the
materials used, low control power and compact design.
Besides the plunger-type actuator which is used most frequently, pivoted-armature actuators and
rocker actuators are also used.
13
Hand shutoff valve
A ball valve is a valve that opens by turning a handle attached to a ball inside the valve. The ball
has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve,
flow will occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and
flow is blocked. The handle or lever will be in line with the port position letting you "see" the valve's
position. The ball valve, along with the butterfly valve and plug valve, are part of the family of
quarter turn valves.
14
Drier
The filter/dryer is in the liquid line between the condenser and the expansion valve. This dryer
filters out any foreign particulate matter and also contains a desiccant to absorb any moisture that
may be present in the system.
15
Thermostatic expansion valve
A very common type of metering device is called a TX Valve (Thermostatic Expansion Valve). This
valve has the capability of controlling the refrigerant flow. If the load on the evaporator changes,
the valve can respond to the change and increase or decrease the flow accordingly.
The TXV has a sensing bulb attached to the outlet of the evaporator. This bulb senses the
suction line temperature and sends a signal to the TXV allowing it to adjust the flow rate. This
is important because, if not all, the refrigerant in the evaporator changes state into a gas, there
could be liquid refrigerant content returning to the compressor. This can be fatal to the
compressor. Liquid cannot be compressed and when a compressor tries to compress a liquid,
mechanical failing can happen. The compressor can suffer mechanical damage in the valves
and bearings. This is called” liquid slugging”.
Normally TXV's are set to maintain 10 degrees of superheat. That means that the gas returning
to the compressor is at least 10 degrees away from the risk of having any liquid.
16
T 2/TE 2 thermostatic expansion valves are used for liquid injection into evaporators on both
refrigeration and air conditioning systems using fluorinated refrigerants. T 2/TE 2 is supplied
with an interchangeable orifice assembly for easy stocking and service.

Evaporator coil
Evaporator coil The evaporator is where the heat is removed from your house , business or
refrigeration box.
Low pressure liquid leaves the metering device and enters the evaporator.
Usually, a fan will move warm air from the conditioned space across the evaporator finned coils.
The cooler refrigerant in the evaporator tubes, absorb the warm room air. The change of
temperature causes the refrigerant to “flash” or “boil”, and changes from a low pressure liquid
to a low pressure cold vapor.
The low pressure vapor is pulled into the compressor and the cycle starts over.
The amount of heat added to the liquid to make it saturated and change states is called “Super
Heat”.
Get pressure readings of the suction line leaving the evaporator to get refrigerant saturation
pressure-temperature. Refrigerant saturation temperature is the pressure-temperature, when
the refrigerant is turning from a low-pressure liquid to a low-pressure vapor (absorbing heat).
At saturation pressure-temperature, both liquid and vapor are at the same temperature.
Convert pressure to temperature with a P/T chart. If reading is obtained at the compressor, not
at the evaporator line leaving, you may have to add a few pounds of pressure due to pressure
drop in the suction line.
20
Compare both, the saturated temperature and the leaving suction line temperature.
Subtracting one from the other, the difference is the amount the refrigerant gas has heated past
saturated temperature.
Accumulator
A SUCTION LINE ACCUMULATOR is used to prevent liquid refrigerant from reaching the
compressor. Liquid flood back can occur for various reasons such as a malfunctioning expansion
valve, refrigerant overcharge, hot gas defrost cycle or extremely low load on the evaporator. An
accumulator should be used if frost or dirt collect on the evaporator coil(s). This can reduce the
heat transfer. Some suction line accumulators are equipped with a built in suction to liquid line
heat exchangers. All hot gas defrost systems must use an accumulator.
The main function of the Suction Accumulator in a refrigeration or heat pump system is to protect
the compressor from liquid slugging. Liquid refrigerant can dilute the oil, wash out the bearings,
and damage valve reeds. The un-evaporated portion of refrigerant returning in the suction line is
trapped in the separator, allowing only vapor refrigerant and oil to leave and return to the
compressor. Suction Line Accumulator comprise of a sufficiently sized vessel with an optimized ’U’
shaped internal tube to minimize pressure drop and maximize flow through the vessel. Positive oil
return is accomplished through a strainer protected injection orifice. The inlet to the U tube is
located above and behind the vessel inlet to eliminate any possibility of high velocity liquid
carryover.
21
Dual pressure controller (HP/LP)
Pressure controls are for use in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to give protection
against excessively low suction pressure or excessively high discharge pressure. The controls
are also used for starting and stopping refrigeration compressors and fans on air- cooled
condensers.

Evaporator pressure regulator
Evaporator regulators are mounted in the suction line of refrigeration and air conditioning
systems. They are used to maintain a constant pressure corresponding to a constant temperature
on the evaporator. They also protect against too low and evaporating pressure by throttling down
when the pressure falls below the set value.

31
Crankcase pressure regulators
Crankcase regulators are installed in the suction line of refrigeration systems. They are used to
protect the compressor motor against overload experienced during startup after long off periods or
just after defrost periods.

33
Pressure and temperature regulators, pilot operated main valve
PM valves are pilot operated main valves for regulating pressure and temperature in refrigeration
systems.
PM valves can be used on the high and low pressure sides, in wet and dry suction lines, and in
liquid lines without phase change (i.e. where no expansion takes place in the valve).
The function of a PM valve depends solely on the pilot pressure applied to the valve, either from
pilot valves or in the form of external pilot pressure.
PM 1 has one connection for pilot pressure/pilot valve, while PM 3 has three pilot pressure/pilot
valve connections. The associated Danfoss pilot valves can either be screwed directly into the main
valve or be connected via an external pilot line.
