Question: 

Draw a neat sketch of vapour compression refrigeration cycle. Describe its working

Answer: 

 

Vapour compression refrigeration cycle Vapour compression refrigeration cycle consist of four different processes 1) Compression 2) Condensation 3) Expansion 4) Evaporation Components and its functions 1) Compressor – The low pressure & temperature refrigerant from evaporator is drawn into compressor. It is compressed to a high pressure & high temp. vapour refrigerant is discharged into condenser. 2) Condenser – High pressure & temperature vapour refrigerant is cooled and condensed by using air or water & form liquid vapour refrigerant. Heat is rejected 3) Expansion valve – to control flow of refrigerant and reducing it pressure and temperature 4) Evaporator – liquid vapour refrigerant at low pressure and low temperature is evaporated by absorbing heat from system or substance and change into vapour refrigerant.
