English

Subject field(s)
  • Compressors
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
DEF

A refrigeration system in which some liquid refrigerant is mixed with vapor entering the compressor to cause discharge vapors from the compressor to be saturated rather than superheated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Compresseurs
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
CONT

Le régime est dit «humide» quand le compresseur aspire la vapeur humide; en d'autres termes quand le tracé de la courbe de compression relevée par l'indicateur de Watt correspond à la compression adiabatique de vapeurs humides (d'où la désignation anglo-américaine «Wet compression»). Il semblerait a priori que le fonctionnement du compresseur en régime humide devrait être particulièrement recherché.

Key term(s)
  • marche du compresseur en régime humide
