Refrigeration System Components and Functions
Refrigerant Properties and Behavior

 Refrigerants are used to transfer heat in refrigeration
systems
 Key properties of refrigerants include:
 Low boiling point
 High latent heat of vaporization
 Low viscosity
 Chemically stable
 Non-toxic and non-flammable
 Refrigerants follow a cycle of phase changes (liquid to gas
and back to liquid) as they absorb and release heat
Heat Transfer in Evaporator and Condenser

 The evaporator is where the refrigerant absorbs heat from
the surroundings
 The condenser is where the refrigerant releases heat to the
surroundings
 Heat transfer occurs through the following processes:
 Conduction
 Convection
 Radiation
 The efficiency of heat transfer depends on the following
factors:
 Temperature difference between the refrigerant and
the surrounding medium
 Flow rate of the refrigerant and the surrounding
medium
