Explain refrigeration cycle

Question

Accepted Answer

Refrigeration cycle is a process of removing heat from a low-temperature reservoir and transferring it to a high-temperature reservoir.

The cycle consists of four main components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator.
The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and then condensed in the condenser, releasing heat to the surroundings.
The high-pressure liquid refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve, where it expands and evaporates, absorbing heat from the surroundings.
The low-pressure refrigerant vapor then enters the evaporator, where it absorbs more heat and is then returned to the compressor to repeat the cycle.
Examples of refrigeration systems include air conditioning units, refrigerators, and industrial cooling systems.
