Refrigeration cycle (vapour compression refrigeration cycle)
Vapour compression refrigeration system.
In this cycle low pressure vapour refrigerant convert in to high pressure vapour refrigerant, so it's called vapour compression refrigeration cycle.
In vapour compression refrigeration cycle there are four fundamental process.
1. Compression
2. Condensation
3. Expansion
4. Evaporation
1. Compression.
In this process low pressure and low temperature vapour refrigerant enter in compressor and convert in high pressure and high temperature vapour refrigerant . In compression process -
State of refrigerant- Gas
Pressure - Low pressure to high pressure
Temperature - Low temperature to high temperature
Function - increase refrigerant pressure.
2. Condensation.
In this process high pressure superheated vapour refrigerant convert in to high pressure and high temperature liquid refrigerant.
In condensation process -
State of refrigerant. - gas to liquid
Pressure - high pressure
Temperature - high temperature
Function - discharge heat of condensation
3. Expansion.
In this process high pressure and high temperature liquid refrigerant convert in to low pressure and low temperature liquid (80%)+ vapour(20%) refrigerant.
In expansion process -
State of refrigerant - liquid
Pressure - low pressure
Temperature - Low temperature
Function - decrease refrigerant pressure to decrease saturation temperature.
4. Evaporation.
In this process low pressure and low temperature liquid refrigerant absorbs latent heat of vapourization
and convert in to low pressure and low temperature vapour refrigerant.
In evaporation process -
