Getting to know the parts and components of the refrigeration unit

The main function of refrigeration systems is to transfer heat from an environment with a lower temperature to an environment with a higher temperature. This is an event that is not possible naturally; But it becomes possible with the help of doing physical work and transferring power to the cycle. The purpose of making refrigeration cycles is exactly this. The most important refrigeration cycle used is the condensation refrigeration cycle. Although there are cycles such as absorption cycle of single system and two systems, etc. Condensation refrigeration cycles perform the cooling of the environment with the help of a refrigerant fluid. This fluid is usually from the category of Freon, CFC or HCFC gases; which has suitable properties to help these cycles. Refrigerant fluid performs heat transfer by rotating during the cycle and passing through four thermodynamic processes and leads to cooling of the environment.

Getting to know the refrigeration system compressor The most important part in the refrigeration system is its compressor. The main function of the compressor is to provide the necessary power to flow the refrigerant fluid during the cycle. In fact, the movement of the refrigerant fluid during the refrigeration cycle starts from the compressor. in such a way that the fluid is charged into the compressor in the form of refrigerant gas. Then the compressor starts working and compresses it. At this stage, the temperature and pressure of the fluid increases to a great extent. In such a way that we will have hot gas inside the compressor. Compressors are made in different types and their compression capacity has a direct effect on the cooling capacity of the refrigeration system.

Getting to know the condenser of the refrigeration cycle The second component in condensation refrigeration cycles is the condenser. Condenser design is often done as a shell-and-tube converter. In such a way that the refrigerant fluid passes through the pipe and water or air is used to cool it. If air flow is used for cooling, it is called an air-cooled condenser. And if water is used, it is called water cooled condenser. It is more common to use the air conditioner type in the refrigeration system. Because it is more economical. The fluid that comes out of the compressor has a high temperature and pressure. In the condenser unit, during a constant pressure process, the temperature of the fluid drops to a great extent. in such a way that the liquid coming out of the condenser is saturated with liquid and steam.
