The radiator exponent n indicates the change in heat output of a radiator when the actual conditions, in terms of water temperature and room temperature, differ from standard conditions, i.e., the values that were used to define a radiator’s nominal heating capacity.
Reciprocating compressor
Recirculation pump
The task of the refrigerant is to transfer energy from one level and dispose of it at a higher level. There are many different types of primary refrigerants, each with technical substance characteristics, such as pressure, temperature, heat content, specific volume, and entropy for every need.
Refrigerant charge
Refrigerant charge is a term used for the type and mass of refrigerant a refrigeration plant will hold to perform under the given conditions. The type of refrigerant must be applicable for the application and the ambient conditions. For example, the ASHRAE standards are general recommendations regarding local ambient conditions for inside and outside temperatures in both summer and winter in any country.
