Answer to Question 1

Fractionation is the separation of refrigerant components in a zeotropic refrigerant when the refrigerant evaporates and condenses. This is why zeotropic refrigerants must leave the cylinder as a liquid, to avoid separating the components and changing the mixture of the refrigerant.

Answer to Question 2

The buffer tank smooths out, or buffers, the effect of changing heat loads. The buffer tank allows the system to store heat, so that amount of heat going into and out of the tank do not have to be exactly the same at all times.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
