Presentation of the basic principles of the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle.
Topics include:
- Principles of heat transfer
- Sensible heat
- Latent heat of vaporization
- Refrigerants
- Mechanical refrigeration cycle components (compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device)
- Pressure–enthalpy (P-h) chart (superheat, subcooling, refrigeration effect, heat of compression)
