2.2 Refrigeration Cycle

1. Freon* is a gas at normal temperature

and pressure. It is first subjected to high

pressure in a compressor which raises its

boiling point and temperature.

2. At the same high pressure, the vapor is

piped into condenser coils where it is

cooled by water to a degree below its

liquefaction point. It condenses into a

liquid state and still under high pressure,

passes to the evaporator.

3. In the evaporator, the pressure is

relieved by the suction stroke of the

compressor. The boiling point of the

liquid refrigerant drops and evaporation

into a vapor takes place. The water

which surrounds the evaporator coils

gives up its heat in causing the

vaporization at low pressure, thus

reducing its temperature to the

temperature of the refrigerant. The cold

water can then be piped at this low

temperature to any desired point and

sprayed to cool the passing air. The

refrigerant is sucked back into the

compressor and the cycle recommences

*Freon - refrigerant used for cooling.

Mechanical refrigeration is based upon the

alternate liquefying and evaporating of a volatile

liquid with a low boiling point usually Freon 12

(Dichlorodiflouromethane) or Freon 11

(Trichloromonoflouromethane) during which

processes it respectively gives off and takes in

heat. The desirable properties of Freon are: a)

high heat of vaporization; b) moderate pressure

change for low to high temperature range; c)

non-toxic; d) incombustible; e) non-explosive;

and f) non-corrosive.
