2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of the evaporator in the refrigeration cycle?
Back
The evaporator absorbs heat from the environment, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and turn into a gas, which cools the surrounding area.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the function of the compressor in the refrigeration cycle?
Back
The compressor increases the pressure of the refrigerant gas, allowing it to flow through the system and facilitating the heat exchange process.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION

What does the condenser do in the refrigeration cycle?
Back
The condenser cools and condenses the refrigerant gas back into a liquid by rejecting heat to the environment.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION

What is the purpose of the expansion valve in the refrigeration cycle?
Back
The expansion valve reduces the pressure of the liquid refrigerant, allowing it to expand and cool before entering the evaporator.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
