Basic Refrigeration Cycle• Principles of Refrigeration
o Liquids absorb heat when changed from liquid to gaso Gases give off heat when changed from gas to liquid.

The cycle of cooling

Compressor
The refrigerant comes into the compressor as a low-pressure gas, it is compressed and then moves out of the compressor as a high-pressure gas.

Condenser
The gas then flows to the condenser. Here the gas condenses to a liquid, and gives off its heat to the outside air.

Expansion Valve/ Metering Device
The liquid then moves to the expansion valve under high pressure. This valve restricts the flow of the fluid, and lowers its pressure as it leaves the expansion valve.

Evaporator
The low-pressure liquid then moves to the evaporator, where heat from the inside air is absorbed and changes it from a liquid to a gas.

Compressor
As a hot low-pressure gas, the refrigerant moves to the compressor where the entire cycle is repeated.
