Principles of operation of vapour compression refrigeration system?

The principle of refrigeration is to remove heat from one area (i.e inside your fridge) and locate it to another area (i.e outside of your fridge). Air is not brought in from the outside of the fridge the heat is absorbed by the evaporator inside the fridge which has refrigerant inside it, this refrigerant at low pressure is at low temperature inside the evaporator so the heat from the product inside the fridge is absorbed by the evaporator (as heat always transfers from the hotter object to the colder object) which has a fan to circulate the air around the fridge. Then the refrigerant is pushed around the pipework by the compressor to the condenser where the refrigerant is hot from the heat out of the fridge, because the outside air will be lower than that of the pressurized refrigerant the heat is absorbed by the ambient air which leaves the refrigerant cooler and lower pressure so when its back into the evaporator it can absorb more heat and expel it into the ambient air. There are 5 main components in a normal refrigeration system like on your fridge:- Compressor Condenser Expansion Device or Capillary tube Evaporator Thermostat The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas. This raises the refrigerant's pressure and temperature, so the heat-exchanging coils outside the refrigerator allow the refrigerant to dissipate the heat of pressurization. As it cools, the refrigerant condenses into liquid form and flows through the expansion valve. When it flows through the expansion valve, the liquid refrigerant is allowed to move from a high-pressure zone to a low-pressure zone, so it expands and evaporates. In evaporating, it absorbs heat, making it cold. The coils inside the refrigerator allow the refrigerant to absorb heat, making the inside of the refrigerator cold. The cycle then repeats.

Why does your refrigerator give off so much heat?

The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas. This raises the refrigerant's pressure and temperature, so the heat-exchanging coils outside the refrigerator allow the refrigerant to dissipate the heat of pressurization.


Can you release small limits of R12 from such as a small refrigerator without recovery system?

Yes you can if you are not receiving compensation. So if it is your refrigerator you may release whatever refrigerant it has in it. If it is your friends, but he is not paying you, you can release the refrigerant also. It is illegal for a paid professional to release any kind of fluorocarbon into the atmosphere, whether it is R12, R22, 134a or any other common refrigerant. That is why the have those expensive recovery systems.


How does the failure of the compressor in a refrigerator affect the heat transfer cycle?

When the compressor fails, the high vapor pressure refrigerant is no longer condensed. Without a phase change of the refrigerant is refrigerator will not cool.
