What is a vapour compression system?
A closed system that circulates the liquid through four stages of alternately compressing and expanding it to change it from liquid to vapour constitutes a vapour compression system.
What is the refrigeration effect?
The refrigeration effect refers to the quantity of heat removed from a given space in a given amount of time. The S.I. unit is kJ/s (kilo-Joules per second) or kW (kilo-Watts).
What is the working principle of refrigeration?
The working principle of the refrigeration cycle is to convert the refrigerant that circulates within the system from liquid to vapour and back to liquid. This repeats in a cycle.
What are the four stages of the vapour compression refrigeration cycle?
The four stages in a typical vapour compression refrigeration cycle have compression, condensation, throttling or expansion, and evaporation.
Where do we use the vapour compression refrigeration system?
The vapour compression refrigeration system is utilized from refrigerators we use every day to freezers and air conditioners.
