Direct Expansion

We define a direct polynomial expansion of the ABC Green s function (and equivalently the ABC wavefunction) by anything having the form  

The distorted Born expansion [3] (DBE) is a simple example of a polynomial expansion for the scattering Green s function. The form is not strictly that given in Eq. (4.24), but is close enough to be seriously considered. Defining Ho as a reference system (whose ABC Green s function is easy to construct), and Hi = H — Ho as the 

For small systems, the matrix [HiGo( )] in the ABC formulation can be diagonalized and its eigenvalues inspected to test for convergence of the DBE. We show the results of such an exercise for two different systems. The first, in Fig. 

Two popular methods for solving the N x N linear system Ax = b are based on constructing the Krylov representation of A [24, 25]. The Krylov space of dimension p is defined as the span of the set of vectors 

This basis can be generated using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, yielding the recursion relations  

Breakfast cereals are typically manufactured using direct expansion or by forming dense pellets. Direct-expanded products are usually flavored and packaged, whereas pellets are usually transformed into their final shape by flaking, oven puffing, or gun puffing.

Cooling. A compression refrigeration system, driven by an electric motor, suppHes cooling for either direct expansion or ice bank systems (Fig. 12). In the former, the milk is cooled by the evaporator (cooling cods) on the bulk tank liner opposite the milk side of the liner. The compressor must have the capacity to cool the milk as rapidly as it enters the tank.

To protect terminal equipment or other (weaker) portions of the system, restraints (such as anchors and guides) shall be provided where necessary to control movement or to direct expansion into those portions of the system that are adequate to absorb them. The design, arrangement, and location of restraints shall ensure that expansion-joint movements occur in the directions for which the joint is designed. In addition to the other thermal forces and moments, the effects of friction in other supports of the system shall be considered in the design of such anchors and guides. 

Figure 11-69 describes a typical central system. Either water or direct-expansion refrigerant coils or air washers may be used for cooling. Steam or hot-water coils are available for heating. Humidification may be provided by target-type water nozzles, pan humidifiers, air washers, or sprayed coils. Air cleaning is usually provided by cleanable or throwaway filters. Central-station air-conditioning units in capacities up to about 50,000 cu ft/min are available in prefabricated units. 

The system shown in Fig. 11-75 is direct expansion where diy or slightly superheated vapor leaves the evaporator. Such systems are predominantly used in small applications because of their simplicity and light weight. For the systems where efficiency is crucial (large industrial systems), recirculating systems (Fig. 11-77) are more appropriate. 

Direct-expansions are more appropriate for smaller systems which should be compact, and where there are just one or few evaporators. Overfeed (recirculation) systems should be considered for aU applications where first cost for additional equipment (surge drums, low-pressure receivers, refrigerant pumps, and accessories) is lower than the savings for the evaporator surface. 

Direct expansion is also possible wherein the refrigerant is used to chill the incoming air directly without the chilled water circuit. Ammonia, which is an excellent refrigerant, is used in this sort of application. Special alarm systems would have to be utilized to detect the loss of the refrigerant into the combustion air and to shut down and evacuate the refrigeration system. 

Fig. 6. Radiation damage in graphite showing the induced crystal dimensional strains. Impinging fast neutrons displace carbon atoms from their equilibrium lattice positions, producing an interstitial and vacancy. The coalescence of vacancies causes contraction in the a-direction, whereas interstitials may coalesce to form dislocation loops (essentially new graphite planes) causing c-direction expansion.

Falling-film vertical evaporators, direct expansion systems, and vacuum freezing techniques may also be used.

Most fish is still caught at sea and must be cooled soon after it is taken on board, and kept cold until it can be sold, frozen or otherwise processed [45]. The general practice is to put the fish into refrigerated sea water tanks, kept down to 0°C by direct expansion coils or a remote shell-and-tube evaporator. The sea water must be clean and maybe chlorine dosed. At this condition, fish can be kept for up to four days. 

The use of chilled water or a non-freeze solution for heat transfer is now replacing many applications where direct expansion of refrigerant has been used in the past. The method gives the advantage of using packaged liquid chillers. 

Processes in the chemical industry require the control of temperatures of reactions where heat is liberated. Direct expansion refrigerant coils may constitute a hazard, and such heat exchangers generally use chilled water or brine. Coolers of this sort will be found in every branch of the chemical industry.

Such units may use chilled water or direct-expansion refrigerant, and will have the air filter at the top. It may not be possible to introduce outside air through it, so the room will have a pressurized fresh air supply, which will be filtered to remove fine dusts which may affect the computers. Computer room units work with a very high sensible heat ratio of 0.95 or more, so they have large coils to keep the ADP up near the dew point of the room air. Most will have an inbuilt steam humidifier to replace any moisture which is removed on the coil. 

Example 33.1 An R.22 direct expansion coil evaporates at 3°C when cooling air from 20°C to 11°C. Condensing is at 35°C. If the air flow is reduced by 15% because of a dirty filter, what is the approximate increase in running cost ... 

This first estimate for the evaporator coil performance must now he corrected for the change in compressor duty if it is a direct expansion coil, or of water temperature change if using chilled water. Another method is to re-calculate the basic rating figures at the new air flows and plot these against compressor curves.

The first ground-source heat pump was installed in Indianapolis, Indiana in the home of Robert C. Webber, an employee of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. It was a 2.2 kW compressor hooked to a direct expansion ground coil system in trenches supplying heat to a warm air heating system. The installation was monitored beginning October 1, 1945 and this is the first day of ground source heat pump operation documented in literature [2],...
