A refrigerator keeps your food at the right temperature to avoid spoilage and delay the growth of

harmful bacteria to your health. Utilizing the condensation and evaporation laws, the refrigeration cycle
transfers heat from the device's interior to the outside. Your refrigerator's key components include:
Inflator The compressor, which acts as both a pump and a motor, is in charge of refrigerant circulation
throughout the system. Refrigerant The condenser is mounted on the refrigerator's back outside wall
and aids in releasing heat absorbed from inside the fridge into the ambient air. The evaporator is located
inside the refrigerator and absorbs the heat, lowering the internal temperature. For expansion, a
capillary tube device transports liquid refrigerant and acts as an expansion mechanism, cooling the gas
and converting it to a liquid. The refrigerator's temperature is regulated by the thermostat, which
activates the cooling cycle as desired.

How Does Refrigeration Work?

1. The temperature inside the refrigerator increases above the fixed limit, and sensors signal the
compressor to turn on, which starts the cooling cycle. The machine takes in the cold liquid refrigerant,
pressurizes and condenses it, and then increases the temperature to convert it to a flame.

2. The compressor moves the hot gas into the condenser coils on the refrigerator's exterior. It cools
down to mist as it comes into contact with the colder space air.

3. The cooled liquid travels through the coils inside the refrigerator and freezer compartment on its way
to the evaporator.

4. The refrigerant collects the hot air inside the refrigerator, reducing the temperature to the fixed limit.

5. The refrigerant evaporates, then transforms back into a gas before returning to the compressor to
complete the cycle.

Heat pumps, air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers are examples of applications and equipment
that use refrigeration. Refrigeration helps to cool the home, provide a stable atmosphere for perishable
goods, and aid in the processing and storing a variety of daily items and resources by absorbing heat
from one location and transferring it to another.
