2.2 Refrigeration Cycle
1.Freon* is a gas at normal
temperature and pressure.
2. At the same high pressure, the vapor is
piped into condenser coils where it is
cooled by water.
3. In the evaporator, the pressure is
relieved by the suction stroke of the
compressor.
*Freon -refrigerant used for cooling.
