What is refrigeration cycle ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The refrigeration cycle is a thermodynamic process that removes heat from a space or substance to lower its temperature.

The cycle consists of four main components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator.
The compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas.
The high-pressure gas then flows into the condenser where it releases heat and condenses into a high-pressure liquid.
The liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and temperature.
The low-pressure liquid then enters the evaporator where it absorbs heat from the surroundings and evaporates into a low-pressure gas.
The gas is then returned to the compressor to start the cycle again.
This cycle is used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and heat pumps to cool or freeze substances or spaces.
