Refrigeration is the process of extracting heat from a low temperature source and transferring it to a higher temperature sink. There are three main ways refrigeration is produced: by melting/sublimation of a solid or evaporation of a liquid. Important applications include air conditioning, food transportation/processing, and medical/industrial uses. All refrigeration systems include a heat sink, means of extracting/transferring energy, a receiver, and means of reducing refrigerant pressure/temperature. Common systems are vapor compression, absorption, and air standard. Key components are compressors, condensers, evaporators, and throttling devices.

Refrigeration is defined as the process of extracting heat
from a lower-temperature heat source, substance, or cooling medium and transferring it to a higher-temperature heat sink. Refrigeration maintains the temperature of the heat source below that of its surroundings while transferring the extracted heat, and any required energy input, to a heat sink, atmospheric air, or surface water. Refrigeration is generally produced in one of the following three ways : (i) By melting of a solid. (ii) By sublimation of a solid. (iii) By evaporation of a liquid. Important refrigeration applications : 1. Ice making 2. Transportation of foods above and below freezing 3. Industrial air-conditioning 4. Comfort air-conditioning 5. Chemical and related industries 6. Medical and surgical aids 7. Processing food products and beverages 8. Oil refining and synthetic rubber manufacturing 9. Manufacturing and treatment of metals 10. Freezing food products 11. Miscellaneous applications : (i) Extremely low temperatures (ii) Plumbing (iii) Building construction etc. Refrigeration Systems Refrigeration system is a combination of components and equipment connected in a sequential order to produce the refrigeration effect. All refrigeration systems must include at least four basic units as given below : (i) A low temperature thermal sink to which heat will flow from the space to be cooled. (ii) Means of extracting energy from the sink, raising the temperature level of this energy, and delivering it to a heat receiver. (iii) A receiver to which heat will be transferred from the high temperature high-pressure refrigerant. (iv) Means of reducing of pressure and temperature of the refrigerant as it returns from the receiver to the sink. The main goal of a refrigeration system the main refrigeration systems and cycles that we deal with are : vapor-compression refrigeration system absorption refrigeration systems air-standard refrigeration systems Refrigeration System Components
There are several mechanical components required in a
refrigeration system. In this part, we discuss the four major components of a system and some auxiliary equipment associated with these major components. These components include: compressors condensers evaporators throttling device addition to refrigerant lines and piping, refrigerant capacity controls, receivers, and accumulators. Compressors In a refrigeration cycle, the compressor has two main functions within the refrigeration cycle. One function is to pump the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator so that the desired temperature and pressure can be maintained in the evaporator. The second function is to increase the pressure of the refrigerant vapor through the process of compression, and simultaneously increase the temperature of the refrigerant vapor. By this change in pressure the superheated refrigerant flows through the system. Refrigerant compressors, which are known as the heart of the vapor- compression refrigeration systems, can be divided into two main categories: displacement compressors and dynamic compressors. Note that both displacement and dynamic compressors can be hermetic, semi hermetic, or open types. Compressor types Condensers There are several condensers to be considered when making a selection for installation. They are air-cooled, water-cooled, shell and tube, shell and coil, tube within a tube, and evaporative condensers. Each type of condenser has its own unique application. Some determining factors include the size and the weight of the unit, weather conditions, location (city or rural), availability of electricity, and availability of water. Condensers utilized in the refrigeration industry are commonly of three types, as follows: water-cooled condensers. air-cooled condensers. evaporative condensers Evaporators Evaporator can be considered as the point of heat capture in a refrigeration system and provides the cooling effect required for any particular application. There are almost as many different types of evaporators as there are applications of heat exchangers. However, evaporators are divided into two categories such as : (i) direct cooler evaporators that cool air that, in turn, cools the product . (ii) indirect cooler evaporators that cool a liquid such as brine solution that, in turn, cools the product. Throttling Devices In practice, throttling devices, called either expansion valves or throttling valves, are used to reduce the refrigerant condensing pressure (high pressure) to the evaporating pressure (low pressure) by a throttling operation and regulate the liquid-refrigerant flow to the evaporator to match the equipment and load characteristics. These devices are designed to proportion the rate at which the refrigerant enters the cooling coil to the rate of evaporation of the liquid refrigerant in the coil; the amount depends, of course, on the amount of heat being removed from the refrigerated space. The most common throttling devices are : thermostatic expansion valves. constant-pressure expansion valves. float valves. capillary tubes. Refrigeration Cycles and Systems Vapor-Compression Refrigeration Systems The operation of this system is as follows: (12) Reversible adiabatic compression. From the evaporator, low-pressure saturated refrigerant vapor comes to the compressor and is compressed into the condenser by volume reduction and increased pressure and temperature. (23) Reversible heat rejection at constant pressure. From the compressor, high-pressure refrigerant vapor enters the condenser and is liquefied by employing water or air. (34) Irreversible expansion at constant enthalpy. From the condenser, high-pressure saturated refrigerant liquid passes through an expansion valve and its pressure and temperature are reduced. (41) Reversible heat addition at constant pressure. From the expansion valve, low-pressure refrigerant liquid arrives in the evaporator. It boils here and in the process absorbs heat from the surrounding medium, thereby providing a cooling effect. Energy Analysis of Vapor-Compression Refrigeration Cycle: For compressor:
where is mass flow rate of refrigerant, kg/s; h is enthalpy, kJ/kg;
and is compressor power input, kW. For condenser:
where H is the heat rejection from the condenser to the high-
temperature environment. For expansion valve: For evaporator:
where L is the heat taken from the low-temperature
environment to the evaporator. For the entire refrigeration system, the energy balance can be written as
The coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigeration system
becomes
The isentropic efficiency of an adiabatic compressor is defined as
where h2s is the enthalpy of the refrigerant at the turbine exit, if
the compression process is isentropic (i.e., reversible and adiabatic).

Exchanger analysis and design therefore involve both convection and conduction. Radiative transfer between the exchanger and the environment can usually be neglected unless the exchanger is uninsulated and its external surfaces are very hot. Heat exchangers are normally well-insulated devices that allow energy exchange between hot and cold fluids without mixing the fluids. The pumps, fans, and blowers causing the fluids to flow across the control surface are normally located outside the control surface. how to work The Heat Exchanger ?
