Explain Refrigeration cycle

Question

Accepted Answer

Refrigeration cycle is a process in which a refrigerant absorbs heat from a low-temperature space and releases it in a high-temperature space.

The refrigeration cycle consists of four main components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator.
The refrigerant enters the compressor as a low-pressure gas and leaves as a high-pressure, high-temperature gas.
In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat and changes from a gas to a liquid.
The expansion valve reduces the pressure of the liquid refrigerant, causing it to evaporate and absorb heat from the surroundings in the evaporator.
The cycle repeats as the refrigerant returns to the compressor to start the process again.
Common refrigerants used in refrigeration cycles include R-134a, R-410A, and ammonia.
