Abstract

Refrigeration is the result of the absorption of energy (heat) during the evapora­ tion of a liquid. A refrigerant liquid is circulated through a closed system of pipes, in which on one side (refrigeration chamber) it is vaporized and on the other side (outside the refrigeration chamber) it is condensed. Common refrigerant liquids are ammonia (boiling point —33 °C), and low relative molecular mass chlorofluoro- carbons (boiling point near —30 °C). The vaporization of the refrigerant liquid is achieved by either absorption or compression.
