Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1RQ
Which of the following is the largest electrical load in an air-conditioning or refrigeration system?
- a. evaporator fan motor
- b. condenser fan motor
- c. compressor
- d. relay coil
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The largest electrical load in an air-conditioning or refrigeration system.
Explanation of Solution
An air-conditioning or refrigeration system consists of following electrical components:
- 1. Compressor
- 2. Evaporator fan motor
- 3. Condenser fan motor
- 4. Relay coil
Among the above said components, compressor is the largest electrical load. Because the compressor requires large electricity for its operation. The compressor is a device that works on high pressures (the pressure above the atmosphere).
Thus, the correct answer is “option c. compressor”.

Thermodynamics: Mass and Energy Analysis Of Control Volumes
A 50-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m3 room. Both the room and the oil in theradiator are initially at 5◦C. The radiator with a rating of 3 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heatis lost from the room at an average rate of 0.3 kJ/s. After some time, the average temperature is measuredto be 20◦C for the air in the room, and 60◦C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specificheat of the oil to be 950 kg/m3 and 2.2 kJ/(kg◦C), respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on.Assume the room is well-sealed so that there are no air leaks.
