Refrigerant II Refrigeration II Type of refrigeration

Refrigerant

Refrigerant are heat carrying mediums which during their cycle in the refrigeration system absorb heat at a low temperature level and discard the heat a higher level.

Refrigeration

The word 'refrigerate' means to chill or freeze a substance, i.e. to lower its temperature by removing some of its heat. Thus Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from a substance to lower its temperature and rejecting the heat to atmosphere which is at higher temperature level.

Type of refrigeration?

There are four type of refrigeration
1. Evaporative Cooling refrigeration
2. Vapor Compression refrigeration
3. Vapor Absorption refrigeration
4.Thermoelectric

FAQ

Ques 1 - Example of Refrigerant?

Ans - An example of a refrigerant commonly used in household refrigerators and air conditioning units is R-134a, which is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Other examples of refrigerants include R-410A, which is a blend of HFCs commonly used in air conditioning units.

Ques 2 - What is the most common refrigerant?

Ans - A commonly used in refrigerant is R-134a, which is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC).

Ques 3 - Is refrigerant a gas or liquid?

Ans. - Refrigerants can exist in both gas and liquid states, depending on the temperature and pressure they are exposed to. When the refrigerant is compressed, its temperature and pressure increase, causing it to become a high-pressure gas. This high-pressure gas then flows through a condenser where it releases heat and condenses back into a liquid state.
