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.
The high-pressure refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve, where it expands and cools down.
The cooled refrigerant then enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the low-temperature reservoir and evaporates.
The refrigerant then returns to the compressor to repeat the cycle.
Examples of refrigerants used in the cycle include R-134a, R-410A, and ammonia.
The cycle is used in various applications, including air conditioning, refrigeration, and industrial processes.
