3. Read the text and say if you have found the answer. The basic refrigeration cycle.

Part 1

The function of the refrigeration plant is to remove heat from a process fluid or air at a low temperature and dump it in recipient tha can be water or air. A cooling plant is composed of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device and connecting pipes. These are the minimum components necessary in the basic refrigeration cycle.

To study the cycle we can work it through, start­ing at any point but a good starting point is usually the slightly subcooled liquid refrigerant, 35 °C at a pressure of 15.33 bar, i.e. a saturation temperature of 40 °C. This is point A in the figure.

This starting point is suitable because it normally changes very little, regardless of the modification of the basic cycles.

The liquid expands in the expansion valve. No en­ergy-thermal or mechanical - is exchanged with the sur­roundings; the expansion is isenthalpic

When the pressure starts to decrease, at first nothing happens; the temperature remains (almost) constant. The liquid reaches its saturation curve, though. A further decrease in pressure means that the temperature has to decrease as well; otherwise, the liquid would be super-heated, which is a thermodynamically unstable state.

The liquid is thus cooled down and the energy released evaporates a part of the liquid or, expressed differently, the evaporating liquid cools down the remaining liquid. The lower the pressure, the more liquid evaporates.
