Reversed Carnot Refrigeration Cycle
a-b: Absorption of heat by the working fluid from refrigerator at
constant low temp T2 during isothermal expansion.
b-c: Isentropic compression of the working fluid with the aid of
external work. The temperature of the fluid rises from T2 to T1.
c-d: Isothermal compression of the working fluid during which heat
is rejected at constant high temperature T1.
d-a: Isentropic expansion of the working fluid. The temperature of
the working fluid falls from T1 to T2.

Reversed Carnot Refrigeration Cycle
Practical difficulties with Carnot Refrigeration Cycle
• Process 1-2 is wet compression
• Extraction of work during isentropic
expansion is not economically feasible.
