Refrigeration Cycle

Refrigeration Cycle:

Refrigeration Flow:

1. The compressor pumps high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant containing the heat absorbed in the evaporator, as well as heat generated by the compressor itself.

2. From the compressor, this gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser. In the condenser the refrigerant cools and condenses into a liquid state.

3. The liquid refrigerant then flows into the receiver/dryer, which stores and filters it until it is required by the evaporator.

4. The liquid then passes through the expansion tube and expansion valve, which meters the flow to the evaporator, further reducing the refrigerant's temperature and pressure.

5. The now cold refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator. The heat from the air passing through the evaporator is absorbed by the refrigerant fluid, and the air's humidity is drained off as water. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat until it is converted into a gas. It is then drawn to the compressor via vacuum suction and the process is repeated.
