Refrigeration – Compressors, Valves and Piping

0.5 Hr(s).
SKU: RVCT-841

The main purpose of a vapor-compression refrigeration system is to transfer heat from a cooler space to a warmer environment. The system has four main components: a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigerant flows continuously through these four components as it is alternately compressed and expanded, changing from a liquid to a vapor and back as it absorbs and releases heat.
