Chapter 1 Refrigeration Cycle
Used in many
In air conditioning,
applications e.g.
refrigeration is the
preservation of heart of the system
food and material
Important to understand
the principle of operation
of a refrigeration unit &
efficiency of the system
commonly known as
Coefficient of
Performance.

Functions of the
components
Compressor- which uses work input to
reduce the pressure in the evaporator and
increase the pressure of the vapour being
transferred to the condenser
Expansion valve- controls the flow of
liquid refrigerant and reduces the pressure
Condenser- where the high pressure
vapour condenses, rejecting heat to its
surroundings (vapourliquid)
