The pressure in a refrigeration system changes in the compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. In the compressor, the pressure increases, while in the condenser, it remains high before decreasing in the expansion valve and evaporator.
at the metering device before the evaporator
The device in a refrigeration system that causes the refrigerant to go from a liquid to a gas is the expansion valve. It controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, where it absorbs heat and evaporates into a gas, cooling the surrounding space.
A metering device in a refrigeration system regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. It reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, allowing it to expand and absorb heat from the environment. This process is essential for maintaining the system's efficiency and ensuring optimal cooling performance. Common types of metering devices include expansion valves and capillary tubes.
In vapour compressor refrigeration system the low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant from evaporator is compressed. where it is compressed to a high pressure and temperature. From compressor refrigerant goes to condenser where where it changes the phase. from condenser refrigerant goes to evaporator through expansion device.

The expansion device is located between the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side of a refrigeration or air conditioning system. It regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, allowing the refrigerant to expand and drop in pressure and temperature before entering the evaporator coil. This process is crucial for efficient heat absorption in the cooling cycle. Common types of expansion devices include thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs) and capillary tubes.
In a refrigeration system, pressure is changed primarily at the compressor and the expansion valve. The compressor increases the pressure of the refrigerant vapor, raising its temperature and allowing it to release heat in the condenser. After the refrigerant condenses into a liquid, it passes through the expansion valve, where pressure is drastically reduced, allowing it to evaporate and absorb heat in the evaporator. This cycle of pressure changes is crucial for the refrigeration process.
Balancing a refrigeration system involves adjusting various components such as the expansion valve, evaporator, and condenser to ensure proper operation and efficiency. This process helps optimize the system's performance by ensuring that each component is working at its designed capacity and that the system is thermally balanced.
