The Refrigeration Cycle

The Refrigeration Cycle is a simple but amazingly clever and useful process. In its simplest form, the refrigeration cycle consists of just 4 basic components to complete the circuit: That’s it. Well, that’s almost it – we also need a refrigerant to cycle inside the circuit. As the name suggests, the refrigeration process is a cycle.We start at the compressor, go through the condenser, then through the restriction, then through the evaporator and finally back to the compressor where the cycle starts all over again. So let’s have a brief look at each of the components in turn. Luckily, their … Continue reading The Refrigeration Cycle
