Cool It: Refrigeration Basics For Aquaculture Operations Managers

摘要

The basic premise of refrigeration is to move heat from a colder heat source to a warmer heat sink. Common pitfalls for refrigeration in aquaculture are a lack of water flow, inadequate evaporator capacity and evaporator freezing. In addition to considering highest expected flow rate and highest expected temperature difference, a general rule of thumb in selecting evaporators is that half the flow requires double the evaporator heat transfer surface.
