Thermodynamics The removal of heat at a low temperature and its rejection at a higher temperature requires work. This is stated simply by the Second Law of thermodynamics, one form of which is W = Q I ~ The validity of this equation is illustrated by using an expansion engine and compressor to lift 1 Btu from, as an example, 50°R and rejecting it at 500°R. This can be illustrated by isothermal compression of an idealized gas at 500°R with a perfect compressor, cooling the compressed gas in a perfect heat exchanger to 50°R without pressure loss, then expanding the gas in sufficient quantity at 5°R (isothermally) to absorb 1 Btu.
Turboexpanders have been used in air separation processes since the mid-1950s. The early designs were small and the mechanical problems encountered were mainly related to miniaturization and the unavailability of good bearings for the high speeds. The rotors were only a few inches in diameter and speeds were in the range of 20,000-50,000 rpm. Higher efficiency, lower maintenance, and reduced size were the expected benefits beyond those attainable from precursor equipment, such as reciprocating expanders.
The success of these two processes, one requiring refrigeration at -300°F, and the other at-125°F, poses the questions: What are the preferred applications for turboexpanders? Why not use them in air conditioners or other commonly used refrigeration systems? 7 times as much. This is referred to as a "ton" of refrigeration. 7 hp back as power. Refrigeration represents work according to the Second Law. The arrangement of a turboexpander system functioning as a refrigeration machine is shown in Figure 2-6.
