Refrigeration Components

In the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, a “refrigerant” alternately absorbs and rejects heat as it circulates through four components – an evaporator, compressor, condenser, and metering device – changing pressure, temperature, and phases along the way. This interactive online course discusses different types of refrigeration systems and their components. It also discusses metering devices, compressors, and non-condensable gases.
