Page 29: Operation Theory Of Refrigeration Cycle Components
https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Product Specifications To do list 2-8. Operation theory of refrigeration cycle components ■ Condenser 1) Role: A device which radiates heat to the outside (water/air) to make liquid state for the high temperature / high pressure gas refrigerant discharged from compressor 2) Types Air-cooling Type : Condense air by circulating naturally or manually.
Page 30 https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Product Specifications To do list 2-8. Operation theory of refrigeration cycle components ■ Capillary 1) Role: A device which makes low temperature and pressure refrigerant by reducing the pressure the normal temperature / high pressure liquid refrigerant condensed from condenser, and supply it to the evaporator.
Page 31 https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Product Specifications To do list 2-8. Operation theory of refrigeration cycle components ■ Evaporator 1) Role: As the low pressure liquid refrigerant flowed from capillary absorbs heat inside of the refrigerator, it becomes low pressure gas and refrigerate the foods. 2) Theory: The low pressure refrigerant flowed to evaporator operates cooling which takes ambient evaporated potential heat with maintaining the evaporation up to evaporate completely.
Page 32 https://appliancetechmanuals.com 2. Product Specifications To do list 2-8. Operation theory of refrigeration cycle components Dryer ■ 1) Role: Absorb the moisture from the refrigerant that refrigeration cycle circulates and eliminate the foreign substance. 2) Structure: If even some moisture is included refrigerant is impossible to circulate by freezing the small capillary outlet, so silica gel or molecular sieve is (included and) sealed to absorb the internal moisture, and install a minute net to eliminate the foreign substance.
