WHAT IS

REFRIGERATION?
 REFRIGERATION
- IT IS A PROCESS THAT
INVOLVES THE REMOVAL OF
HEAT FROM AN AREA WHICH
IS DESIRED TO KEEP COOL.
 REFRIGERATION
- THE REJECTION OF THAT
HEAT TO AN AREA WHOSE
TEMPERATURE REMAINS
PRACTICALLY CONSTANT.
 REFRIGERATION
- A PROCESS IN WHICH THE
TEMPERATURE OF A SPACE
OR ITS CONTENTS IS
REDUCED TO BELOW THAT
OF THEIR SORROUNDINGS.
APPLICATIONS OF REFRIGERATION
1.REFRIGERATORS
2.INDUSTRIAL FREEZERS
3. CRYOGENICS
 WHAT IS
REFRIGERANT?
 REFRIGERANT
- A REFRIGERANT IS A
SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE,
USUALLY A FLUID, USED IN
A HEAT PUMP AND
REFRIGERATION CYCLE.
 WHAT IS
FREON?
 FREON
- IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK
OF THE CHEMOURS COMPANY.
- NOT ALL REFRIGERANT IS
LABELLED AS "FREON" SINCE
FREON IS A BRAND NAME FOR
THE REFRIGERANTS.
 FREON
- THESE INCLUDE THE
CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS (CFCS) THAT
CAUSE OZONE DEPLETION (SUCH AS
CHLORODIFLUOROMETHANE), BUT ALSO
INCLUDE NEWER REFRIGERANTS WHICH
TYPICALLY INCLUDE FLUORINE INSTEAD
OF CHLORINE AND DO NOT DEPLETE
THE OZONE LAYER.
EXAMPLES OF REFRIGERANTS
WHAT ARE THE FOUR MAIN
COMPONENTS OF
REFRIGERATION PLANT?
COMPONENTS OF REFRIGERATION
PLANT
1. EVAPORATOR
2. COMPRESSOR
3. CONDENSER
4.EXPANSION DEVICE
EVAPORATOR
- IN WHICH THE LOW
PRESSURE
REFRIGERANT
ENTERS A COLD
LIQUID AND IS
EVAPORATED TO A
COLD LOW PRESSURE
VAPOR
`B
COMPRESSOR
- IN WHICH LOW
PRESSURE AND
COLD VAPOR IS
COMPRESSED TO A
HIGH PRESSURE
SUPERHEATED

VAPOR
CONDENSER
- IN WHICH THE HOT
HIGH PRESSURE
VAPOR IS COOLED
AND CONDENSED OF
A COOL LIQUID
EXPANSION DEVICE
- WHERE THE COOL
HIGH PRESSURE
LIQUID IS
THROTTLED AND
EXPANDED TO A
LOW PRESSURE
COLD LIQUID
