COMPRESSOR

The compressor draws in low pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and compresses it to a high pressure and temperature state before discharging it to the condenser. In the condenser, the high pressure refrigerant vapor is cooled and condensed by releasing its latent heat to the surrounding air or water. The refrigerant then passes through a capillary tube where its pressure and temperature are reduced, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate as it passes into the evaporator.

COMPRESSOR

The low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant from


evaporator is drawn into the compressor through the inlet or suction valve ,
where it is compressed to a high pressure and temperature. The high pressure
and temperature vapour refrigerant is discharged into the condenser through the
delivery or discharge valve.

CONDENSER

The condenser or cooler consists of a coil pipe in which the high


pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant is cooled and condensed. The
refrigerant, while passing through the condenser, gives up its latent heat to the
surrounding medium which is normally air or water.

CAPILLARY TUBE

The capillary is also called as expansion valve or throttle valve.


The function of the valve is to allow the liquid refrigerant under high pressure
and temperature to pass at a controlled rate after reducing its pressure and
temperature. Some of the liquid refrigerant evaporates as it passes through it
