Very low
temperature refrigeration systems typically operate in two
or more stages (cascade type sytems). It would be nearly impossible
to achieve low temperatures in a single stage with an inexpensive
compressor. The traditional cascade system has a low temperature
stage which uses the lower boiling point gas, such as R-13
or R-503, and a high stage which typically uses R-12, R-22,
or R-502.
The high
stage evaporator provides the correct condensation temperature
for the low stage so that compressors in both stages can run
at "normal" pressures. |
