Vapour Compression Cycle
The vapour-compression cycle is a process used to extract heat from a box or a room that underlies most refrigeration and air conditioning techniques. It consists of four separate stages:
- Compression(1-2)
- Condensation(2-3)
- Expansion(3-4)
- Evaporation (4-1)
And in the domestic refrigerator, the purpose is to extract the heat from the refrigerator hence it follows the vapour compression cycle
a) Basic vapour compression b) T-s diagram c) p-h diagram
refrigeration system
*Trick to remember –Most of you will get confused that whether it works on vapour compression cycle or the vapour absorption cycle. So here is a simple trick to remember. You might have noticed a compressor installed at the back of our domestic refrigerator that’s it because the cycle on which it works is vapour compression cycle.
