How does a refrigerator work?

Asked by Tosia

Answer (3)

in the refrigerant cycle there are five basic components: fluid refrigerant, a compressor which controls the flow of refrigerant ,the condensor coils which is on the outside of fridge , the evaporator coils which is on the inside of fridge & something called an exapansion device .. The compressor constricts & Refrigerant vapour, raising its pressure & pushing it into the coils on outside of refrigerator.When the hot gas in coils meets the cooler air temperature of kitchen it becomes a liquid.Now in liquid form at high pressure , the refrigerant cools inside freezer & fridge. The refrigerant absorbs heat inside the fridge , cooling down the air. Last the refrigerant evaporates to a gas, then flows back to compressor where the cycle start all over.

keep the plug in the socket and onn the switch...

A refrigerator operates using a refrigeration cycle that involves the compression of refrigerant gas, cooling it in condenser coils, expansion through a valve, and evaporation in evaporator coils to absorb heat inside. This continuous cycle keeps the inside of the fridge cold while releasing heat outside. Key components include the compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator coils.
