Describe vapour compression Cycle?

Question

Accepted Answer

Vapour compression cycle is a thermodynamic process used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Involves four main components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator
Refrigerant is compressed in the compressor, raising its temperature and pressure
High-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant then flows to the condenser where it releases heat to the surroundings and condenses into a liquid
Liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, reducing its pressure and temperature
Low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant then enters the evaporator where it absorbs heat from the surroundings and evaporates back into a gas
Cycle repeats continuously to maintain cooling or heating
