Chapter 1 Overview
Air Conditioning = 24 C
High temperature refrigeration = 12C
Medium temperature refrigeration = 2C
Low temperature refrigeration = -23C
Extra low temperature refrigeration = -32C
Refrigerant:
1. Temperatures drop as discharge gas cools
2. Condenses as heat is rejected
3. Sub-cools before entering the TEV
Refrigerant:
1. Temperatures rise as liquid vaporizes and absorbs heat in the
evaporator
2. Then the vapor superheats after all refrigerant has evaporated

2. Evaporator
Absorbs heat as refrigerant evaporates
3. Compressor
Increases the refrigerant temperature above the
ambient temperature
4. Condenser
Rejects heat from the refrigerant as vapor condenses
