What is the main difference between a dry evaporator and a flooded evaporator?


A dry evaporator is filled with refrigerant liquid, whilst a flooded evaporator is filled with gas
A dry evaporator allows the entire refrigerant to evaporate in the pipe upstream of the compressor; in a flooded evaporator, part of the refrigerant remains in a liquid state within the evaporator
A dry evaporator does not require an expansion valve, whereas a flooded one does
A dry evaporator has a lower operating pressure than a flooded one

Ťažká

Which statement best describes the behaviour of R717 and mineral compressor oil?


R717 mixes very well with compressor oil and easily returns to the compressor
