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


A dry evaporator has a lower operating pressure than a flooded one
A dry evaporator is filled with refrigerant liquid, whilst a flooded evaporator is filled with gas
A dry evaporator does not require an expansion valve, whereas a flooded one does
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

15

Ťažká

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


R717 does not mix with compressor oil, so the oil remains in the system on the high-pressure side as a layer above the R717
R717 does not mix with compressor oil, so the oil remains in the system on the low-pressure side as a layer beneath the R717
R717 mixes very well with compressor oil and easily returns to the compressor
In an R717 system, a return oil line cannot be used because the oil is too hot
