refrigeration cycle

Front

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE METERING DEVICE?

Back

Meters the flow of refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle.

Front

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE CONDENSER?

Back

Rejects heat from the refrigerant, allowing it to condense from gas to liquid.

Front

A COMPRESSOR CANNOT COMPRESS A _____________.

Back

Liquid.

Front

THE COPPER LINE FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO THE CONDENSER IS CALLED THE?

Back

Discharge line.

Front

FIXED ORIFICE, TXV AND CAPILLARY TUBE ARE EXAMPLES OF WHAT?

Back

Metering devices.

Front

WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE COMPRESSOR IN THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE?

Back

It compresses the refrigerant gas, increasing its pressure and temperature.

Front

WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE EVAPORATOR IN THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE?

Back

Absorbs heat from the environment, causing the refrigerant to evaporate.

Front

DEFINE REFRIGERANT.

Back

A substance used in a heat cycle to transfer heat from one area to another.

Front

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIQUID LINE AND A SUCTION LINE?

Back

The liquid line carries refrigerant in liquid form to the expansion device, while the suction line carries refrigerant gas back to the compressor.

Front

WHAT IS A THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE (TXV)?

Back

A metering device that regulates refrigerant flow based on temperature.
