The refrigerator compressor is both a motor and a pump that move the refrigerant through the system. Temperature sensors signal the compressor to start when the temperature inside the refrigerator rises above its set point. No refrigerator is completely airtight; cold air leaks out, and warmer air...
The high pressure liquid that we have now flows through the expansion valve. Think of the expansion valve as a small hole. On one side of the hole is high-pressure refrigerant liquid. On the other side of the hole is a low-pressure area (because the compressor is sucking gas out of th...
3. Expansion Valve –The expansion valve which is made up of a thin copper coil reduces the pressure on the liquid refrigerant. 4. Compressor –A compressor is a metal object which compresses the refrigerant thus raising the pressure and in turn the temperature of the gas. 5. Condenser –A...
The Compressor If you’ve ever peeked behind a refrigerator and noticed a globe-like device at the bottom, that’s the compressor. It’s responsible for pumping refrigerant through the system, but most importantly, it compresses the refrigerant (hence the name). ...
If you have to add refrigerant to your a/c system every year, you have a refrigerant leak. It is essential that we repair the freon leak as soon as possible to prevent significant damage. Air Conditioner Compressor Maintenance Q&A So what happens if your Compressor Fails? Below are a few ...
A liquid coolant is circulated through these coils by a compressor and a motor. The refrigerant liquid is cooled in the condenser; it then flows to the evaporator. At the evaporator, the air in the unit is cooled by contact with the liquid-filled coil. The condenser of a refrigerator or ...
Depending on the season, the condenser either releases or collects heat, allowing your home to remain at a comfortable temperature year-round. The condenser works in tandem with the compressor to facilitate the movement and transformation of refrigerant, thereby contributing to the cooling process. ...
The Basic Principle of how an Air Conditioner works Here we look at the refrigeration cycle that drives an air conditioner through the evaporation and condensation of refrigerant to absorb and then give up heat. We look at the evaporation unit, the compressor, the cooling coil and fins, the ...
As the refrigerant absorbs the heat from the passing air, it changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state and continues to travel along the loop system toward the compressor. Step 2: Compressor raises the refrigerant temperature The compressor decreases the gas’ volume. Usually this is done...
